摘要: Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a leading cause of chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma worldwide. While current therapeutic options for hepatitis are limited, recent progress in the understanding biology HCV led to identification novel targets antiviral intervention. In addition, molecular immunotherapeutic strategies inhibit replication or gene expression enhance cellular immune response against being explored. These other may eventually complement existing modalities. Here, we briefly review concepts epidemiology, virology, pathogenesis, natural history, diagnosis, therapy, prevention C.
