- Abstract
- "Alpha-interferon is a drug of proven effect in both hepatitis B and C infection. But, the interferons are associated with
numerous adverse reactions including various neurologic syndromes. We report a case of Bell s palsy during interferon
therapy. The patient commenced on α2b-interferon therapy for chronic hepatitis C infection. He developed Bell s palsy
fifth months after commencing therapy. Although Bell s palsy in our patient may have occurred by chance, a neuropath-ic
effect of α2b-interfeon on the facial nerve cannot be excluded.
Key Words : Bell s palsy, Interferon, Chronic hapatitis C"
