Efficacy and Safety of Sofosbuvir plus Daclatasvir for Treatment of HCV-associated Cryoglobulinemia Vasculitis

Circulating mixed cryoglobulins are detected in 40%–60% of patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, and overt cryoglobulinemia vasculitis (CryoVas) develops in about 15% of patients. Remission of vasculitis has been associated with viral clearance, but few studies have reported the effectiveness of direct acting antiviral drugs in these patients. We performed open-label, prospective, multi-center study of the effectiveness and tolerance of an all-oral, interferon- and ribavirin-free regimen of sofosbuvir plus daclatasvir in patients with HCV-associated CryoVas.
