This study evaluated titers and amplitudes of anti-E2 antibodies (anti-E2-Abs) and neutralizing antibodies against hepatitis C virus (HCV; anti-HCV-nAbs) in HIV/HCV-coinfected individuals over five years after successful HCV treatment completion. We retrospectively analyzed 76 HIV/HCV-coinfected patients achieving sustained virologic response post-HCV treatment. Plasma levels of anti-E2-Abs and anti-HCV-nAbs against five HCV genotypes (Gt1a, Gt1b, Gt2a, Gt3a, and Gt4a) were determined using ELISA and microneutralization assays, respectively.

Background And Aim: Direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) have revolutionised the management of chronic hepatitis C. We analysed the use of different generations of DAAs over time in Switzerland and investigated factors predictive of treatment failure.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted within the framework of the Swiss Association for the Study of the Liver and the Swiss Hepatitis C Cohort Study; it included all patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with DAAs between January 2015 and December 2019 at eight Swiss referral centres.

The introduction of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infected patients has greatly increased treatment success rates. However, viral response kinetics to DAA treatment may depend on pre-existing resistance-associated substitutions (RASs) in HCV. The aim of this study was to describe how pre-existing RASs affect DAA treatment-induced reduction in HCV RNA titers in HCV genotypes 1- and 3-infected individuals.

Introduction: With availability of direct-acting antivirals (DAA), most persons with inherited bleeding disorders are currently cured of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection. The risk of liver-related complications following HCV cure has not been reported for this population.
Aim: Reporting liver-related complications during long-term chronic HCV infection and following sustained virological response (SVR) in this population.

: The impact of direct-acting antiviral (DAA)-based regimens on the recurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) after successful curative hepatectomy is controversial. Aims: This study aimed to assess the association between DAAs treatment and recurrence risk in HCC after resection. : We retrospectively assessed 152 cases of early stage (BCLC stage 0/A) hepatitis C virus (HCV)-related HCC (HCV-HCC) that underwent resection with curative intent between 2001 and 2019 at Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital; 48 cases achieved a sustained virological response (SVR) by DAA, and 104 cases were not treated with any antiviral therapy (non-treatment group).
