摘要
Between 70 and 170 million people worldwide are infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) which frequently causes chronic liver disease and cirrhosis. There are several genotypes and many subtypes of HCV. Direct-acting antiviral agents are effective at eradicating HCV in the vast majority of patients, producing much higher cure rates than were seen with interferon and ribavirin regimens only a few years ago. The chapter reviews the epidemiology and virology of HCV infection. Treatment regimens are complex but a straightforward approach to selection of patients, choice of direct-acting antiviral agents and follow-up is presented.
