Dermatological side effects of hepatitis C and its treatment: Patient management in the era of direct-acting antivirals  Patrice Cacoub, Marc Bourlière, Jann Lübbe, Nicolas Dupin, Peter Buggisch, Geoffrey Dusheiko, Christophe Hézode, Odile Picard, Ramon Pujol, Siegfried Segaert, Bing Thio, Jean-Claude Roujeau  Journal of Hepatology  Volume 56, Issue 2, Pages (February 2012) DOI: /j.jhep Copyright © 2011 European Association for the Study of the Liver Terms and Conditions

2 Fig. 1 Incidence of rash (SSC) in telaprevir Phase II/III placebo-controlled trials in patients receiving telaprevir for 12weeks in combination with peginterferon/ribavirin, followed by peginterferon/ribavirin alone (T12PR). (A) Overall incidence during the telaprevir/placebo treatment phase in the T12PR and PR arms; (B) incidence by Grade during the telaprevir treatment phase in the T12PR arms only; (C) incidence of rash in the T12PR and PR arms during the telaprevir/placebo treatment phase by 4-week periods and during the overall treatment phase by 12-week periods [36,37].

4 Fig. 3 Guidance on the efficient administration of a topical steroid: the fingertip rule. (A) One fingertip of cream equates to around a 0.5g steroid dose, (B) sufficient to treat an area equivalent to two palms. By assessing the affected skin surface by units of palm surfaces, the amount of topical treatment required for a given treatment interval can be accurately assessed.

5 Fig. 4 Algorithm for distinguishing between telaprevir-related dermatitis and SCAR in a rapidly progressing skin reaction. DRESS: drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (also known as drug-induced hypersensitivity syndrome); SJS, Stevens–Johnson syndrome; TEN, toxic epidermal necrolysis; ALT, alanine transaminase.
