摘要
We report an exceptional case of resolution of HCV infection in a HIV-infected patient. The patient, a 49-year-old male with history of drugs addiction, suffered from an evolutive liver disease never treated with specific anti-HCV compounds during two decades. The case report highlights a rare phenomenon, seldom reported in medical literature (a PubMed search retrieved only 8 similar cases), and underlines the importance of a deeper investigation of all the virologic, immunological, pathogenetic, and therapeutic implications.
