Abstract
Summary
Hepatitis C viral infection is one of the most burdensome
diseases affecting 2 – 3% of the world population.
130–150 million people globally have chronic hepatitis C
infection.
During infection HCV triggers a range of immune response
that is thought to cause its extra hepatic complications beside the
theory of direct infection of different organs including the
Central Nervous System.
The pathological mechanism of HCV that results in
psychiatric symptoms is not fully discovered though efforts have
been invested. Changes in the serotonin, glutamate and dopamine
pathway and alteration of choline/creatine, myoinositol/creatine
ratio are the suggested pathology.
The aim of this work was:
Evaluation of some psychiatric aspects and quality of life in
HCV patients with either cirrhotic or non cirrhotic liver.
The present study is a case control study that was carried out
from February 2017 to April 2018 at neuropsychiatry department
and internal medicine department in Tanta University Hospital.
