We report a girl with a chronic hepatitis caused by C virus diagnosed at the age of nine, unsuccessfully treated with interferon and ribavirine. Two years later, she was subjected to a liver transplantation. She maintained elevated viral loads with a normal pathological study of the liver until 22 months after transplantation. She was treated again with combined antiviral therapy, for 6 months, without response and experienced a progressive deterioration liver function, dying three years after transplantation (Rev Méd Chile 2004; 132: 479-84)
