Two brothers, aged 9 and 13, born to a mother with hepatitis C (genotype 1b), tested positive for HCV. Both were asymptomatic and in good general condition, only the older brother showed mildly elevated transaminases. HCV-RNA levels were high in both. They were treated with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (DAA) for 12 weeks and after just one month they achieved complete HCV-RNA negativisation, confirmed at 12 and 24 weeks, indicating definitive virological cure.

Abstract

Two brothers, aged 9 and 13, born to a mother with hepatitis C (genotype 1b), tested positive for HCV. Both were asymptomatic and in good general condition, only the older brother showed mildly elevated transaminases. HCV-RNA levels were high in both. They were treated with sofosbuvir/velpatasvir (DAA) for 12 weeks and after just one month they achieved complete HCV-RNA negativisation, confirmed at 12 and 24 weeks, indicating definitive virological cure.
