We studied the prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection in 20 Japanese patients with sporadic-type porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT). Seventeen of the 20 patients (85%) had anti-HCV antibodies. Biochemical remission was observed in nine patients, six of whom still had positive HCV RNA copies. The
