Abstract
Treatment with interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) has been associated with the occurrence of a number of autoimmune disorders. We report a case of chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) occurring in a patient with a chronic viral hepatitis C infection who received a novel, long-acting form of IFN-alpha. After withdrawal of the interferon treatment, this patient responded to a single extended course of plasma exchange that resulted in a complete clinical remission of symptoms without relapse.
