Acute Hepatitis C After Penile Stem Cell Injection

Hepatitis C is a viral infection that is transmitted via blood or other bodily fluids and usually manifests as a chronic infection. We present a unique case of acute hepatitis C from a penile stem cell injection. Although previous cases have reported the reactivation of chronic hepatitis C after hem...

description Hepatitis C is a viral infection that is transmitted via blood or other bodily fluids and usually manifests as a chronic infection. We present a unique case of acute hepatitis C from a penile stem cell injection. Although previous cases have reported the reactivation of chronic hepatitis C after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, it is uncommon for hepatitis C to present acutely, especially in an immunocompetent patient. To our knowledge, this is the first case of acute hepatitis C after a penile stem cell injection.
