The paradox of hepatitis C. An agent that persists in tissue for years by escaping the immune system and not killing but only damaging its host while simultaneously being associated with autoimmune hepatitis as well as other putative autoimmune diseases is presented. Liver transplantation necessitates immune suppression and is associated with progressive HCV disease albeit at a rather slow rate. Diagnosis and treatment concerns are raised and discussed.
丙型肝炎的悖论。本文介绍了一种病原体，它通过逃避免疫系统在组织中持续存在数年，并不杀死宿主，而是仅对其造成损害，同时还与自身免疫性肝炎以及其他假定的自身免疫性疾病相关。肝移植需要免疫抑制，并且与丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）疾病的进展相关，尽管进展速度相当缓慢。文中提出并讨论了诊断和治疗方面的问题。
