Abstract
Chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a common worldwide problem. The infection may progress to cirrhosis with the subsequent development of complications including hepatocellular carcinoma. There has been substantial progress in understanding various aspects of HCV infection, including the epidemiology, virology, natural history of chronic infection, and medical therapy.
