Abstract
G Cammarota and colleagues (Oct 28, p 1494)1 report the onset of coeliac disease during treatment with interferon for chronic hepatitis C in two patients. They stopped interferon treatment and the symptoms improved after a gluten-free diet was started. This effect has been reported by others.2 We report a similar case, as well as a case of a patient with known coeliac disease who had no difficulties with two successive 1-year courses of interferon-alpha-2b, alone and combination therapy.
