Abstract
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.
