Abstract The global prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is approximately 3%, with a post-infection chronicity rate of up to 50%–85%. HCV reactivation can occur when anti-HCV positive individuals receive antineoplastic therapy. In this study, we report a case of an anti-HCV positive patient with negative HCV RNA after 12 weeks of direct antiviral therapy. Two months later, sorafenib was used to treat hepatocellular carcinoma, and HCV reactivation occurred after 8 months of the treatment. HCV RNA was negative after 12 weeks of antiviral treatment with Sofosbuvir-velpatasvir. We also discussed the mechanism of HCV reactivation caused by sorafenib and the antiviral treatment regimen after HCV reactivation with the relevant literature.
