Abstract Successful treatment of chronic hepatitis C virus infection can now be achieved using direct-acting antiviral agents without interferon. In this report, we present a patient who achieved a sustained virologic response after 27 days of treatment with sofosbuvir and ribavirin. It is imperative to identify factors that allow for shorter treatment times in some individuals.
