Abstract
We observed acute HBV superinfection on chronic HCV genotype 1 infection in a 29-y-old injection drug user. On presentation HCV-RNA was already negative and remained so for at least 7 months thereafter. We speculate that clearance of HCV-HBV coinfected cells by HBV-specific immunity might be a mechanism of HCV eradication.Entities:
