Interferon (IFN) and ribavirin (RBV) combination therapy was previously the standard of care for treatment of hepatitis C virus (HCV) genotype 2 infection. But, it often induced hemolytic anemia. In 2014, sofosbuvir (SOF) was approved for the treatment of chronic HCV genotype 2 in Japan. SOF/RBV therapy is more effective against genotype 2 than IFN/RBV therapy. We report a case of a 74-year-old woman with chronic HCV genotype 2b infection. She received five treatments including RBV and IFN therapy before SOF was approved and all of them were ineffective. Therapies that included RBV induced severe anemia and led to discontinuation of treatment. With pegylated IFN/RBV therapy, the maximum change in hemoglobin (Hb) from baseline was −3.7 g/dL. However, SOF/RBV therapy was effective and she achieved sustained virologic response (SVR) with a maximum change in Hb from baseline of only −1.2 g/dL. We also found reticulocyte count was very low during treatment in this case and speculate it was one of the reasons that she developed hemolytic anemia with RBV. In conclusion, SOF/RBV therapy is effective and allowed the patient to achieve SVR. An SOF/RBV regimen is safe and effective for patients who have or are at risk of anemia induced by RBV.

In the studied cohort, HCV subtypes 1b and 3a prevailed — 47,7% and 38,9%, respectively HCV genotype 2 was detected in 7,2% of cases and HCV subtype 1a — in 5,8% of cases. HCV genotype was not determined in 0,4% of patients. Difference between a frequency of detection of subtypes 1b and 3a of HCV in men and women were recorded. Subtype 3a HCV was determined in men in 44,8% of cases, and in women — in 31,7% of cases (p < 0.01). HCV subtype 1b in women was determined with a higher frequency (55,0%, р < 0, 01), than in men (41,8%).
