Abstract

Limited evidence is available currently regarding the efficacy and safety of pegylated interferon (PEG‐IFN) and ribavirin in patients co‐infected perinatally with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV). No information is available on whether or not these patients should be treated earlier for infection with HCV. This report describes four patients with HIV and HCV co‐infection acquired perinatally, who were treated with PEG‐IFN and ribavirin for chronic viral hepatitis caused by HCV. J. Med. Virol. 82: 1110–1114, 2010. © 2010 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Spontaneous resolution of chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is exceedingly rare and poorly understood. As HCV and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) have shared routes of transmission, HCV coinfection is estimated to affect 15%-30% of the HIV-positive population. We report 2 patients with HC
