RATIONALE: Direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) are the first-line treatment for
patients with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. However, its effects on
patients with acute HCV infection are poorly understood, and the data for
treatment of DAAs for genotype 2 acute monoinfection patients with HCV are
lacking. PATIENT CONCERNS: In this case report, a 26 year-old Chinese female
acquired a tattoo and developed fatigue, nausea, and anorexia. Laboratory tests
showed abnormal liver function. DIAGNOSES: Five months after the patient acquired
a tattoo, laboratory tests showed anti-HCV antibody titers were 26.0?s/co, HCV
RNA was 5.74×10?IU/mL, and HCV genotype was 2a. The patient was diagnosed with
acute hepatitis C (AHC). INTERVENTIONS: HCV RNA did not have spontaneous
clearance 12 weeks after the infection of the patient. The patient received
sofosbuvir (SOF) and daclatasvir (DCV) combination treatment for 12 weeks.
OUTCOMES: Laboratory tests showed HCV RNA was undetectable at weeks 4, and
anti-HCV antibody was in seroconversion at weeks 12 during treatment. The patient
achieved a sustained virological response 36 weeks after the end of treatment.
LESSONS: Patients with acute HCV genotype 2 monoinfection would benefit from
antiviral treatment with SOF and DCV.
