| 1 | Interferon therapy in hepatitis Cleading to chronic type 1 diabetes显示文摘AIM: To review the prevalence,clinical data and course of interferon-associated type 1 diabetes in chronic hepatitis C virus(HCV) infection.METHODS: Search of all interferon(INF)-related type 1diabetes mellitus(T1DM) cases published in the English literature from 1992 to December 2013 according to the key words: chronic hepatitis C infection,diabetes mellitus type 1,insulin dependent diabetes mellitus,and interferon treatment.We found 107 cases and analyzed their clinical and laboratory data and long-term followup.Due to the predominance of cases described in Japanese literature,we analyzed separately cases of Caucasian and Japanese origin.In addition we describe a representative case with HCV who developed INFrelated T1 DM.RESULTS: Our data show that INF treatment increases the risk of developing T1 DM by 10-18 fold compared with the corresponding general population and the median age of onset was 43 years(range: 24-66 years) in Caucasians and 52 years(range: 45-63 years) in Japanese.Most patients developed T1 DM during INF treatment,after a median time-period of 4.2 and 5.7 mo in Caucasian and Japanese groups,respectively.The clinical course was characterized by a fulminant course with abrupt severe hyperglycemia or ketoacidosis,a high titer of anti-islet autoantibodies and almost all patients(105/107) permanently required insulin therapy with a follow-up of up to 4 years.A substantial number of patients had evidence for other autoimmune disorders mainly thyroid diseases(25% and 31% in Caucasian and Japanese groups,respectively).CONCLUSION: INF-associated T1 DM in HCV has a fulminant course,often associated with other autoimmune diseases,and results almost inevitably in permanent insulin therapy requirement. | Taiba Zornitzki Stephen Malnick Lyudmila Lysyy Hilla Knobler | 2015 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2015，21，1： | 17 |
