Abstract
The role of procoagulant autoantibodies in hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is unclear. Three individuals with HCV infection and a unique genetic hypercoagulable state developed retinal vein thrombosis (RVT) in association with interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) therapy. It is probable that a combination of active HCV infection in a genetically susceptible individual receiving IFN-alpha accounted for the observed RVT.Entities:
