AimSeveral case reports have shown that hepatitis B virus (HBV) reactivation developed in hepatitis C patients with a current or previous HBV infection during direct-acting antiviral (DAA) treatment, which led to severe hepatitis or death in some cases. However, its precise frequency and risk factors are not entirely clear. We analyzed a prospective cohort.MethodsWe analyzed HBV reactivation in 461 consecutive hepatitis C patients who received 12weeks of ledipasvir/sofosbuvir for genotype 1 or sofosbuvir plus ribavirin for genotype 2 at multiple centers.ResultsBy the examination of the preserved sera at baseline, 159 patients (34%) were identified as seropositive for HBV core antibody (anti-HBc) and were included in the subsequent analysis; 4 patients were positive for HBV surface antigen (HBsAg), and the others were negative. Serum HBV DNA was undetectable or was detectable but
