Failure of Direct-Acting Antiviral Agents Due to Incomplete Hepatitis C Virus Genotyping
Journal Title: Viral Hepatitis Journal - Year 2018, Vol 24, Issue 3
Abstract
Current direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) have high success rates in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. However, 1-15% of patients fail to achieve viral eradication. Some factors may play a role in the treatment failure and relapse. In this paper, we present two cases of hepatitis C in which DAAs failed due to incomplete HCV genotyping.
