This case represents the first report of a detected hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection following a pancreas transplantation that failed two different sofosbuvir (SOF)-based treatments. We present the case of a woman in her 30s with a history of kidney transplantation, who developed viremic symptoms 3 months after pancreas transplantation and with two subsequent negative HCV antibody tests. Further work-up revealed a positive HCV RNA test (genotype 1A, treatment naive). Two different direct-acting antiviral agents regimes with SOF failed in our case, and the patient achieved a sustained virological response with a 16-week course of glecaprevir/pibrentasvir.
