Expert Rev Anti Infect Ther. 2016;14(2):149-52http://hdl.handle.net/10668/9654At present, the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality affecting over 185 million people worldwide,[1] equivalent to a global prevalence of about 2.5% in 2015. Genotype 3 (HCVG3) is one of the seven recognized genotypes.[2] HCVG3 is the second most common genotype overall and is estimated to account for 54.3 million cases throughout the world (30.1%).[1] Although three-quarters of them occur in South Asia where it is endemic, the 3a subtype is an ‘epidemic subtype’ widely distributed geographically, probably associated with injecting drug use.enGenotypeHepacivirusHepatitis CAntiviral agentsDisease progressionFatty liverHumansLipid metabolismLiver cirrhosisresearch article26635242Restricted AccessAntiviralesCirrosis hepáticaGenotipoHígado grasoMetabolismo de los lípidosProgresión de la enfermedad10.1586/14787210.2016.11277571744-8336https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1586/14787210.2016.1127757?needAccess=true
