Il trattamento del morbo di Crohn con infliximab rappresenta una importante terapia nei pazienti con la forma fistolizzata della malattia, refrattaria al trattamento con farmaci convenzionali. Tuttavia esistono preoccupazioni nell’usare questo farmaco in pazienti con concomitante infezione cronica da HCV. Tali preoccupazioni sono determinate dal rischio teorico di un accelerato scompenso epatico dovuto all’effetto immunomodulante dell’Infliximab. Noi descriviamo il caso di un paziente affetto da morbo di Crohn e concomitante infezione attiva da epatite C sottoposto a terapia con Infliximab che non ha mostrato alcun peggioramento della funzionalità epatica e dei livelli di carica virale testati con PCR.
