Thank you for posting query at HCM.
noted that you have complete resolution from HCV infection after treatment.
At present, your treating physician prescribed
steroids.
he maybe NOT knowing your HCV history.
exogenous steroids decrease immunity and may cause reactivation of HCV infection.
i advice you to take a
second opinion from your treating hepatologist.
though low dose steroid may not increase
HCV RNA titer but its better to avoid taking steroids .
you may take anti
histamine medication to counter the
rash,
hope to answer your concern.
wish you good health.
any further queries are welcomed.
Health professionals aim to diagnose properly and manage patients according to their limited knowledge. Cure is blessed by the ONE who Created us, whose power and knowledge is unlimited .
wish you good health.
regards,
Dr Tayyab Malik
