This patient support community is for discussions relating to autoimmune hepatitis.
Here's a page where anyone can add studies and papers related to occult hepatitis C. These are listed in chronological release-date order. If anyone can replace an abstract with a full paper, please do. Hopefully this will become a page where those who have an interest will be able to more easily locate information on this subject.
