          Abstract

          RESUMEN La infección por el virus de la hepatitis C (VHC) es un problema de salud pública1. En el año 2015 se comercializaron en España nuevos fármacos antivirales de acción directa (AAD) capaces de eliminar de forma sostenida la replicación viral en más del 90% de los pacientes infectados2. Los fármacos AAD tienen un excelente perfil de seguridad y la duración del tratamiento está limitada a 8, 12 ó 24 semanas en función de una serie de parámetros3,4. Los profesionales sanitarios tienen que trabajar en equipo para seleccionar el tratamiento más adecuado para cada paciente teniendo en cuenta su situación clínica, sus comorbilidades y los tratamientos concomitantes. En 2015 la existencia de pacientes con infección por VIH coinfectados con VHC era de aproximadamente un 20%5 haciéndose imprescindible escoger el plan terapéutico con mejor perfil de interacciones. Se describe el caso de un paciente coinfectado con VIH y VHC que presenta una reacción adversa (RA), un síncope vagal, tras la primera administración de sofosbuvir/ledipasvir y que se repite tras la segunda administración, descartándose este tratamiento definitivamente.

          SUMMARY Infection with the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a public health problem1. In 2015, new direct-acting antiviral drugs (ADA) were commercialized in Spain, capable of eliminating the sustained viral replication in more than 90% of infected patients2. AAD drugs have an excellent safety profile and the duration of treatment is limited to 8, 12 or 24 weeks depending on a series of parameters3,4. Health professionals have to work as a team to select the most appropriate treatment for each patient taking into account their clinical situation, comorbidities and concomitant treatments. In 2015, the existence of patients with HIV infection coinfected with HCV was approximately 20%5, making it essential to choose the therapeutic plan with the best interaction profile. We describe the case of a patient coinfected with HIV and HCV that presents an adverse reaction (RA), a vagal syncope, to the first administration of sofosbuvir/ledipasvir and that is repeated to the second administration, ruling out this treatment definitively.
