Summary:Objective: To explore the profile of adverse events associated with interferon therapy. Design: Systematic review. Data sources: Electronic and paper records in subject area from 2000 to 2014.

Results: The most frequent adverse events were: flu-like syndrome (55%), depression (30%), neutropenia (20%), anemia (13%).
