ABSTRACT The hepatitis C virus is the main infection transmitted by blood products in the United States, with 3.2 million of infected individuals. The injected alpha interferon has historically been the key stone in the therapy of the hepatitis C virus. The works published in Medline, Scielo, PubMed and Hinary until the beginning of 2016 were reviewed. The main used key words were HVC, cronic hepatitis C, interferon, antivirals. Recent advances have led to the availability on new antiviral drugs, developing new interferon-free oral therapies that make the therapy of hepatitis C virus more efficacious and make easier the treatment regimens. Although these treatment regimens are still complicated, the new recommendations and guidelines evolve quickly. The fast development of new therapies against hepatitis C has led to more efficacious methods with less adverse reactions, optimizing the treatment of these patients.

Palabras clave : hepatitis C virus; chronic hepatitis C; interferon; antivirals.
