Core Tip Hepatitis C infection represents one of the major causes of chronic liver disease, hepatocellular car-cinoma and morbidity/mortality worldwide. A complete elimination of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) from the body through treatment is now possible. However, HCV not only alters the hepatic function. In fact, changes in gut microbiota composition (GM) and gut barrier that leads to an increased bacterial translocation and inflammation have also been observed. Thus, a successful treatment of HCV infection should be accompanied by a complete restoration of GM and inflammation. Studies focused on GM after HCV eradication are lacking, which opens unique opportunities to deeply explore this exciting field.
