Abstract

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a worldwide health problem, whose management has been revolutionized after the availability of sofosbuvir, a direct-acting antiviral (DAAs). Sofosbuvir is a HCV NS5B polymerase inhibitor. Antiviral regimens including sofosbuvir are associated with success rates >90%, even in the case of "difficult-to-treat" patients such as subjects with liver cirrhosis as well as prior null response to IFN and ribavirin.
