✦ Synopsis

The association between hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, cryoglobulinemia and urticarial vasculitis is well documented. However, urticarial vasculitis is extremely rare in HCV infection when not complicated by cryoglobulinemia. Here we describe a patient with urticarial vasculitis who had previously received interferon therapy for HCV infection. This HCV‐infected patient with urticarial vasculitis was found to be negative for cryoglobulinemia but positive for anticardiolipin and anti‐SS‐A/Ro antibodies. The association between HCV infection, urticarial vasculitis, interferon therapy and anticardiolipin antibodies are discussed.
