Sustained virological response in patients with coinfection by hepatitis C virus genotypes 1 and 2, after just nine weeks of antiviral therapy : case report

A report of a 67 year-old male patient with positive serology for HCV. PCR revealed the presence of HCV RNA, viral load of 2,000 copies/mL and genotypes 1 and 2. The patient was treated with peginterferon alfa-2a at 180 mcg/week and ribavirin at 1,000 mg/day. In week four of treatment, HCV viral load was undetectable. In week nine, the patient developed hematemesis, worsening of asthenia, anorexia and impaired general condition, so the treatment was discontinued. The PCR was negative six months and one year after the cessation of treatment. The patient remains asymptomatic.
