Abstract

Cases of lichen acuminatus and viral hepatitis have recently become more frequent. When a complex pathology is revealed, there are certain problems related to the administration of an adequate therapy. This article describes a case from clinical practice proving that plasmapheresis in a patient suffering from lichen acuminatus associated with viral hepatitis C was highly efficient.
