Abstract
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a global health problem which can lead to liver cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma in one-fifth of chronically infected patients. HCV-4 infection is common in the Middle East and Africa, with an extraordinary high prevalence in Egypt. Interferon is a cytokine, a specific protein that is no stranger to the human body.

This work studied the impact of liver fibrosis on the efficacy of interferon in treating HCV.
