Guidelines for the screening, care and treatment of persons with chronic hepatitis C infection; Updated version April 2016 (sólo en inglés)

The objectives of these WHO guidelines are to provide updated evidencebased recommendations for the treatment of persons with hepatitis C infection using, where possible, all DAA-only combinations. The guidelines also provide recommendations on the preferred regimens based on a patient’s HCV genotype and clinical history, and assess the appropriateness of continued use of certain medicines. This document also includes existing recommendations on screening for HCV infection and care of persons infected with HCV that were first issued in 2014. The key audience for these guidelines are policy-makers in low- and middle-income countries who formulate country-specific treatment guidelines and who plan infectious disease treatment programmes and services, in addition to those people responsible for delivering treatment. The guidelines are appropriate for all countries, including high-income countries.
