Unusual virologic findings in acute hepatitis C
Abstract
Acute hepatitis C is a diagnostic challenge because it is asymptomatic or non specific in more than 80% of cases. There is limited data on the literature, because of its low incidence. Spontaneous clearance is observed only in 20% of cases, generally within the first 12 weeks. Clinical guidelines, recommend to wait at least 12-16 weeks before considering antiviral treatment. In the following cases at our consultation, we managed to diagnose the viral breakthrough by extending the follow- up period.
