Resumen
Introduction: In the hepatitis C infection, (HCV) the persistence viral and the response to
antiviral therapy have been associated with the production or no of the cytokines. The
therapy, based on the use of interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) in combination with ribavirin,
results in limited success, especially in patients infected with the most prevalent genotype
type 1.
