A shortage in organs for transplantation has led to the increased use of hepatitis C (HCV) infected donor organs for solid organ transplant recipients infected with HCV.

Here, we report 4 cases of genotype conversion after transplantation in patients receiving HCV infected donor organs. This change in genotype may potentially impact HCV progression as well as treatment choice for these patients.
