Durable Sustained Virologic Response After Oral Directly Acting Antiviral Therapy Despite Immunosuppressive Treatment.
Treatment for hepatitis C has evolved from interferon-based therapy to all oral, directly acting antiviral (DAA) therapy. The influence of immunosuppression on maintaining sustained virologic response (SVR) in patients who have been treated with these directly acting agents is unknown. In this study, we report sustained hepatitis C virus (HCV) suppression in 3 patients undergoing various immuno...
متن کاملRevisiting the predictors of a sustained virologic response in the era of direct-acting antiviral therapy for hepatitis C virus.
Several host (age, sex, race, fibrosis stage, interleukin 28B polymorphism) and viral factors (hepatitis C virus [HCV] genotype, viral load) allow estimating the response to interferon-based therapies (which includes first-generation protease inhibitors) before treatment. However, treatment should not be denied to any patient based on unfavorable factors alone. Metabolic conditions associated w...
متن کاملNew treatment of hepatitis C (Direct Acting Antiviral)
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a major cause of chronic liver disease, with approximately 71 million chronically infected individuals worldwide. Clinical care for the patients with HCV-related liver disease has advanced considerably thanks to an enhanced understanding of the pathophysiology of the disease, and because of developments in diagnostic procedures and improvements in therapy an...
متن کاملHepatitis C Virus Late Relapse after Sustained Virologic Response
24 Hepatitis C (HCV) viremia is unusual (<5%) after successful treatment, defined as sustained 25 virologic response (SVR) or undetectable HCV PCR 12-24 weeks after therapy. We present a 26 case of late virologic relapse (de novo infection excluded by RNA sequencing) after SVR 27 followed by spontaneous viral clearance. 28
متن کاملHigh sustained virological response rates using imported generic direct acting antiviral treatment for hepatitis C
BACKGROUND High prices of direct acting antivirals (DAAs) for hepatitis C virus (HCV) can lead to restrictions on access to treatment in high- and middle-income countries. An increasing number of people in these countries are treating their HCV infection with generic drugs produced in India, China, Bangladesh or Egypt. This analysis assessed the efficacy of generic imported DAAs. METHODS Pati...
