Journal Title: Annals of Hepatology - Year 2010, Vol 9, Issue 0
Abstract
There are no well established treatment guidelines about acute hepatitis C (AHC), leaving physicians to make several challenging decisions, such whether to treat, when to treat and what treatment regimens to use. This article examines the diagnosis of acute infection and critically appraises the various treatment regimens.
