Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is associated with extrahepatic effects, including reduced diffusing capacity of the lungs. It is unknown whether clearance of HCV infection is associated with improved diffusing capacity. In this sample of women with and without human immunodeficiency virus, there was no association between HCV clearance and diffusing capacity.
