dc.description.abstractThe first generation protease inhibitors has been the mainstay of hepatitis C treatment for the last couple of years, showing marked improvement in sustained virological response, but also increased side effects. Infection has emerged as a common complication of telaprevir and boceprevir in combination with peginterferon and ribavirin, usually caused by common pathogens. We present the case of a 65 years old man who developed a Mycobacterium abscessus pulmonary infection during treatment with telaprevir, peginterferon and ribavirin. The patient was successfully treated with amikacin, imipenem and chlarithro-mycin. The present case is relevant for increasing awareness for recognition of opportunistic-infections and particularly nontuberculous mycobacterial infections in patients receiving triple therapy for chronic hepatitis C, especially in cirrhotic subjects who develop significant lymphopenia.
