Özet
Adverse effects due to interferon (IFN)-alfa have been well
documented, usually as influenza-like symptoms, depression, autoimmune diseases, acute renal failure and neuropathy.1 The most commonly encountered skin and hair
disorder related to IFN-alfa therapy is alopecia, but changes
in hair pigment (discoloration, greying, repigmentation)
and appearance (curling or straightening) have also been
reported.2 Hypertrichosis has also been reported as a rare
side-effect of therapy, especially of the eyelashes.3–5 We
report a patient treated with IFN-alfa-2a who developed
trichomegaly of the eyelashes and eyebrows. To our
knowledge, this is the first case of trichomegaly related to
IFN-alfa-2a therapy.
