Hepatitis C virus infection in African Americans.

Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America - 1 Jan 2006

Pearlman Brian L

Abstract excerpt

Hepatitis C is more prevalent among African Americans than among persons of any other racial group in the United States. However, comparatively little data are available on the natural history and treatment of hepatitis C in this population. Compared with white persons, African American persons have a lower rate of viral clearance and, consequently, a higher rate of chronic hepatitis C. Nonetheless, African...
