Abstract
We present two cases of immunosuppressed patients diagnosed with acute hepatitis C (AHC) HCV-antibody negative by HCV-RNA testing. Delayed seroconversion in immunosuppressed patients may result in retarded diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, HCV-RNA testing should be part of the initial evaluation.
