Información del artículo
La hepatitis crónica por el virus de la hepatitis C (VHC) es una de las principales causas de morbilidad y mortalidad en los individuos infectados por el virus de la inmunodeficiencia humana (VIH) en los países desarrollados. Los pacientes coinfectados presentan una más rápida evolución a cirrosis y mayor riesgo de toxicidad hepática del tratamiento antirretroviral. El tratamiento de la hepatitis crónica C en pacientes VIH+ es menos eficaz que en pacientes monoinfectados por el VHC y requiere una especial experiencia.

Chronic hepatitis due to hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is now one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among HIV-infected individuals. Coinfected patients present an accelerated course toward cirrhosis and an enhanced risk of liver toxicity associated with the use of antiretroviral agents. Treatment of chronic hepatitis C in HIV+ patients is less efficacious than in HCV-monoinfected individuals and requires particular expertise.
