We read with great interest the article by Martinot-Peignoux et al. 1 In this report from France, undetectable serum hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA at 12 weeks (WΓΎ12) (409 patients) post-treatment follow-up was as relevant as undetectable serum HCV RNA at 24 weeks (WΓΎ24) (sustained virological response
The vertical transmission of hepatitis C virus (HCV-VT) is a major route of HCV infection in children, but the risk factors remain incompletely understood. This study analyzed the role of interleukin 28B (IL28B) in HCV-VT and in the spontaneous clearance of HCV among infected infants. Between 1991 a
