A further new case of sarcoidosis associated with the use of interferon (IFN) in the classical treatment of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) is reported. During the last two years, more than 20 cases of interferon-induced sarcoidosis have been described in the literature and about half of these cases have involved CHC. Therefore this disorder appears more common than originally thought two years ago, possibly due to the more frequent use of interferon therapy and an improvement in the methods of diagnosis.
