摘要
We report a case of spontaneous clearance of hepatitis C virus (HCV) in a patient co-infected for 20 years with HCV and HIV, and with an chronic active hepatitis C never treated with anti-HCV regimens. We review the literature of eight anecdotal reports describing the spontaneous resolution of chronic HCV infection among HIV-infected patients, and discuss the virological, immunological, pathogenetic and therapeutic implications of this observation.
