Successful Treatment with Crushed Sofosbuvir/Velpatasvir of a Patient with Decompensated Cirrhosis C and Thrombocytopenia.

A 36-year-old woman with decompensated liver cirrhosis type C was referred to our hospital to receive antiviral treatment for hepatitis C virus (HCV). She had been diagnosed with intractable epilepsy and cerebral palsy at birth and was managed by central venous nutrition and nasal gastric feeding. At age 34 years, she was diagnosed with thrombocytopenia, probably associated with HCV infection. She showed refractory ascites for several months and was therefore administered crushed sofosbuvir/velpatasvir tablets via a nasal gastric tube. Her HCV infection was successfully eradicated, her ascites disappeared, and thrombocytopenia improved with a marked decrease in platelet-associated IgG.
