چکیده
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

Hepatitis C virus late relapse after sustained virologic response from interferon and ribavirin treatment as confirmed by RNA sequencing.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) viremia is unusual (<5%) after successful treatment, defined as sustained virologic response (SVR) or undetectable HCV PCR 12 to 24 weeks after therapy. We present a case of late virologic relapse (de novo infection was excluded by RNA sequencing) after SVR followed by spontaneous viral clearance.
متن کاملSustained virological response after treatment in patients with chronic hepatitis C infection--a five year follow up.
Peginterferon alpha-2a and ribavirin combination therapy achieves a sustained virological response (SVR) in patients with chronic hepatitis C. Little is know about long-term durability of hepatitis C virus--Ribonucleic acid (HCV-RNA) negativity in patient treated with pegylated interferon and ribavirin therapy. Aim of this study was to evaluate the durability of virologic response in patients w...

BACKGROUND The phase 2 C-SALVAGE study (Hepatitis C-Salvage Study for Patients who Failed DAA/PR Therapy) demonstrated a 96.2% sustained virologic response at 12 weeks (SVR12) rate using the NS3/4A protease inhibitor grazoprevir and the NS5A inhibitor elbasvir together with ribavirin in treatment-experienced patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 1 infection. METHODS C-SALVAGE...
متن کاملSustained virologic response to antiviral therapy for chronic hepatitis C virus infection: a cure and so much more.
Sustained virologic response (SVR) is defined as aviremia 24 weeks after completion of antiviral therapy for chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. In analyses of SVR durability, the incidence of late relapse is extremely low (<1%). Histologic regression of both necroinflammation and fibrosis has been demonstrated in paired liver biopsy samples in SVR-achieving patients. More noteworthy is ...
متن کاملEarly predictive efficacy of core antigen on antiviral outcomes in genotype 1 hepatitis C virus infected patients.
Response-guided therapy is of limited use in developing countries because hepatitis C virus RNA detection by sensitive molecular methods is time- and labor-consuming and expensive. We evaluated early predictive efficacy of serum hepatitis C virus core antigen kinetics on sustained virologic response in patients with genotype 1 hepatitis C virus during pegylated interferon plus ribavirin treatme...
