Use of direct-acting antiviral drugs (DAAs) greatly improves management of adults infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) whether patients are treatment-naive or unsuccessfully pre-treated. Several inhibitors of viral nonstructural proteins (NS3/4A protease, NS5A and NS5B polymerase) allow a rapid HCV clearance and increase rates of sustained virological response. Both the EASL and AASLD guidelines have recently published up-to-date recommendations for their use, addressing each HCV genotype and particular situations. However, management of patients coinfected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) has been developed by these guidelines with reference to cases of HBV reactivation reported during previous anti-HCV regimens containing interferon known active against both HBV and HCV. In the setting of the interferon-free HCV therapies with DAAs only, the possibility of HBV reactivation during treatment of hepatitis C is raised due to viral interferences in HCV/HBV coinfected persons. Herein, we report a case of early HBV reactivation during DAAs-based anti-HCV treatment (ledipasvir/sofosbuvir) in a patient having a resolved HBV infection and chronically infected with HCV genotype 4 and HIV. Moreover, we review similar recent cases of HBV reactivation in patients infected with HBV and HCV genotype 1 during treatment of hepatitis C by regimen incorporating other combination of DAAs (sofosbuvir/simeprevir or daclatasvir/asunaprevir). Due to the potential risk of early HBV reactivation in HCV/HBV-coinfected patients during interferon-free DAAs-based HCV therapies, altogether these cases highlight the necessity to closely monitor HBV coinfection, regardless its stage (chronic, occult, resolved), whatever HCV genotype or class of DAAs used.
