摘要
The field of hepatitis C (HCV) therapy is moving inexorably towards a time when interferon is no longer part of routine HCV treatment. 2015 will see at least two interferon-free directly acting antiviral (DAA) treatments licensed in Europe and the USA. For those parts of the world that can afford it, this will mean the potential for treatment of those who have either failed interferon-based therapy or have been unable to tolerate the side-effects that commonly accompany treatment.
