Bock K, Atkinson A, Elwood C, Ramji A. Case report of Hepatitis C treatment during pregnancy. J Case Rep Images Obstet Gynecol 2023;9(2):39–42.ABSTRACT
Introduction: Despite the increasing availability of Hepatitis C (HCV) anti-viral therapy for adults, there is minimal data regarding treatment safety and efficacy during pregnancy.
Case Report: A 33-year-old primiparous female underwent successful HCV treatment with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) beginning at 26 weeks gestational age.
Conclusion: This case demonstrates the effective treatment of HCV during pregnancy. Formal trials are still required to assess the long-term safety and efficacy as treatment with DAAs for Hepatitis C is not yet established in pregnancy.
Keywords: HCV, Pregnancy, Reproductive infectious diseases
