We report a case of dermatomyositis as a complication of interferon-945 therapy for hepatitis C. A 52-year-old Japanese man was treated by combination therapy with pegylated interferon-945-2b and ribavirin for hepatitis C. Three months after the initiation of therapy, he showed erythema in the posterior cervical to dorsal and anterior cervical to thoracic regions, weight loss, general malaise, muscle pain, and severe increase in levels of muscle enzymes.
