Abstract

Introduction: Despite the increasing availability of Hepatitis C (HCV) anti-viral therapy for adults, there is minimal data regarding treatment safety and efficacy during pregnancy. Case Report: A 33-year-old primiparous female underwent successful HCV treatment with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) beginning at 26 weeks gestational age. Conclusion: This case demonstrates the effective treatment of HCV during pregnancy. Formal trials are still required to assess the long-term safety and efficacy as treatment with DAAs for Hepatitis C is not yet established in pregnancy.
