Abstract
Chronic hepatitis C is a major cause of chronic liver disease globally, and the natural history of progression may lead to cirrhosis with liver failure, hepatocellular carcinoma, and premature liver-related death. We present the case of a 24-year-old Asian man with chronic hepatitis C virus infection 1 genotype treated by ribavirin placed into the field formed by low level laser radiation and transmitted through the light-guide. The administrated therapy resulted in stabilization of the pathological processes accompanied by the normalization of serum alanine-aminotransaminase and gamma-glutamyltransferase levels, improvement of patient’s condition and his quality of life. No side effects in applying the aforementioned method were observed.
