We present the first known clinical case of a non-cirrhotic patient with HCV genotype 1A with HCV-related MPGN treated successfully with crushed Elbasvir/Grazoprevir administered through a PEG tube. With the prevalence of PEG tube insertion and HCV on a rise, we expect these 2 population cohorts to intersect in the future. Our report may serve as a guidance in such clinical scenario.
