ABSTRACT
Abstract BACKGROUND:
Extrahepatic manifestations are seen in association with chronic infection by hepatitis B or C virus including cutaneous disorders. The frequency of these findings seems to vary among different places and reports. There is a lack of information about this issue in Brazil.OBJECTIVES:
To estimate the prevalence of cutaneous findings affecting HBV or HCV carriers from a reference outpatient unit in Mato Grosso.METHODS:
A cross-sectional observational study.RESULTS:
108 patients were studied. 88.9% presented some cutaneous findings but must of them were nonrelated to chronic viral infection. Four patients had cutaneous or autoimmune syndromes that may be HBV or HCV related.CONCLUSION:
In our study we found no statistical association between viral hepatitis and skin diseases.Palavras-chave
