Core Tip	The global market for hepatitis C virus (hcv) treatment will reach $20 billion annually by the end of the decade. Therefore, a considerable interest in developing simple and reliable methods for detecting and quantifying HCV is required. Conventional HCV diagnostic tests include virus isolation, immunofluorescence microscopy, enzyme immunoassays and polymerase chain reaction techniques are becoming obsolete for routine clinical practices. In this issue, the current knowledge on the alternative diagnostic devices for HCV detection is updated, addressing all the topics with a practical point of view to make this “Topic Highlight” interesting and useful to most clinicians.
