Abatacept therapy for Rheumatoid Arthritis in patients with Hepatitis C Virus infection comorbidity: A Series of Four Patients

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and hepatitis C present a diagnostic dilemma due to the viral induced immunogenistic response with subsequent biomarkers and an associated arthropathy that is difficult to distinguish from RA. They also present as a treatment dilemma due to restrictions in the use of disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs that are standards of care such as methotrexate and leflunomide. Unfortunately they are often excluded from clinical trials in our newer RA therapeutics.
