Acute hepatitis C has a high chronicity rate which appears to be significantly reduced by early antiviral treatment. However, it is unclear if all acutely infected patients should be treated, and when. In this prospective study, patients with a well-documented diagnosis of acute hepatitis C were evaluated to define the natural course, the rate of chronicity, and host and virus-related factors which might predict a self-limiting or chronic evolution requiring early antiviral treatment.
