Interferon-alpha (IFN-α) is an effective drug used for the treatment of chronic hepatitis C. So far its numerous side effects have been reported in the literature. It may be difficult to always put IFN-induced thyroid diseases into a single classic thyroid disease table. There are numerous atypical thyroid diseases due to IFN usage for hepatitis C virus.
