Abstract
We report a case of a man with chronic hepatitis C infection treated with remdesivir for COVID-19, resulting in lowered HCV viral load, followed by a rebound after its discontinuation. Concomitant treatment with tocilizumab possibly caused loss of anti-HBs.
Keywords: COVID-19; anti-HBs; hepatitis B; hepatitis C; remdesivir.
