Histologic liver injury is reported to be less severe in persons who acquire hepatitis C through injection drug use (IDU) than by blood transfusion. Because age correlates with histologic severity, it may be that differences between routes of acquisition reflect the younger age of most drug abusers. The early histopathologic changes of hepatitis C acquired through IDU are less defined, probably because of the lack of liver biopsy material from a cohort of patients not long after initial exposure. The availability of material from a cohort of patients who had liver biopsy for IDU-related hepatitis C in the 1970s enabled us to compare the histology with that of current patients.
