Hepatitis C infection is linked to Sjögren's syndrome, an autoimmune disorder. This case report details a patient with Hepatitis C who developed Sjögren's syndrome, confirmed by biopsy.

Area of Science:

Ophthalmology
Immunology
Hepatology

Background:

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has been associated with various ocular conditions, including Sjögren's syndrome.
The etiological link between HCV and Sjögren's syndrome is increasingly recognized, while its role in other ocular diseases like Mooren's ulcer and acute retinal pigment epitheliitis remains unclear.

Observation:

A 35-year-old male nurse diagnosed with Hepatitis C presented with symptoms indicative of Sjögren's syndrome.
Diagnostic confirmation of Sjögren's syndrome was achieved through a labial biopsy, revealing characteristic pathological changes.

Findings:

The case supports the established association between Hepatitis C infection and the development of Sjögren's syndrome.
The study highlights the diagnostic confirmation of Sjögren's syndrome in an HCV-positive individual.

Implications:

The findings underscore the importance of considering Sjögren's syndrome in patients with Hepatitis C.
Hepatitis C serological screening in organ donors is crucial, particularly for corneal transplantation, due to potential viral presence in ocular tissues.
