Core Tip	Simeprevir, which is a second-generation protease inhibitor, has shown clinically favorable safety and tolerability profiles. One serious adverse event associated with IFN therapy is interstitial pneumonitis. We experienced a patient with interstitial pneumonitis that was induced by simeprevir with PEG-IFN and RBV therapy for chronic hepatitis C in the early stages of therapy (8 weeks after initiating therapy). This is the first case report of interstitial pneumonitis with simeprevir with PEG-IFN and RBV in the world. In addition, it is very interesting that the onset of interstitial pneumonitis was earlier than that in conventional PEG-IFN and RBV therapy.
