Recent advances have been achieved in the management of hepatitis C. However, information regarding epidemiology, natural history, and short and long term patient outcomes in Latin America are scarce. Even more there is no clear consensus among infectious diseases, gastroenterology, hepatology, and virology experts on our geographic area and there are relevant differences in each country regarding chronic hepatitis C patient’s management. This encouraged the organization of a Latin American Consensus Conference in order to review current knowledge of Hepatitis C infection.
