Abstract
Patients with sickle cell disease are at high risk for chronic hepatitis C infection. Prior treatment has been limited due to the use of ribavirin causing hemolytic anemia and interferon causing cytopenias. We demonstrate the safety and efficacy of fixed-dose combination ledipasvir and sofosbuvir for 12 weeks in this population.Entities:
