Abstract
Chronic hepatitis C (HCV) infection in patients with primary immunodeficiency increases the risk of an accelerated progression of HCV-related liver disease. Here, we report a patient with X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome infected with HCV and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). After combination treatment with interferon alpha-2b and ribavirin, clearance of HCV-RNA was achieved, and noteworthily, EBV DNA also became undetectable.Entities:
