RESUMO
Os autores apresentam o caso de um paciente de 45 anos, assintomático, portador de HCV genótipo 3a, com baixos títulos de HCV-RNA pré-tratamento e baixo grau de fibrose, submetido ao tratamento com interferon e ribavirina, e que obteve resposta virológica sustentada (RVS), com HCVRNA indetectável seis meses após o término do tratamento. A descrição deste caso justifica-se não pela raridade, mas para incentivar a classe médica a manter-se alerta no tocante a essa infecção, promovendo, assim, os benefícios esperados com o diagnóstico e tratamento precoce.
ABSTRACT
The authors present a case of 45-year-old man, asymptomatic, HCV genotype 3a carrier, with low pretreatment serum HCV-RNA levels and low grade fibrosis, who received interferon plus ribavirin therapy and achieved sustained virological response (SVR) presenting undetectable HCVRNA six months after this treatment. This report case is not justified because of its rarity, but we aim to alert about the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of hepatitis C.
