Abstract
Postmarketing cases of hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation during hepatitis C treatment have been reported. We analyzed serum samples from patients in a clinical trial of ledipasvir-sofosbuvir in Taiwan and Korea. Of the 173 patients enrolled, 103 (60%) had been previously infected with HBV. None showed evidence of HBV reactivation.Entities:
