, Marc Bourlière, MD bRésumé |
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of chronic liver disease, with more than 170 million infected individuals worldwide. Genotype 4 is the most frequent cause of chronic hepatitis C in the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa. It has recently spread to southern Europe. The introduction of all-oral, interferon-free regimens that combine direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) has significantly advanced HCV treatment.
