Abstract

Interferon therapy, which remains a backbone of Hepatitis C treatment, is potentially immunosuppressive (1) and can predispose to infections (2). The association between Interferon and tuberculosis is not well described. We herein report a case of tuberculous lymphadenitis complicating Interferon therapy given for chronic Hepatitis C infection.
