Core Tip	Most individuals with hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection develop chronic hepatitis, but in some the hepatitis is resolved in a self-limiting manner in the acute phase of infection. What factors are responsible for this difference in the outcome of hepatitis C? The evolutionary dynamics of the infecting virus and host genetic polymorphisms pertaining mainly to the immune system, including the Interleukin 28B gene, as well as susceptibility to HCV infection, are important in determining the outcome of infection.
