ABSTRACT
we read with interest the paper by Wellhöner et al. (1) about the effect of eradication of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection on the gut microbiota. The Authors report that sustained virological response (SVR) at 24/48 weeks after hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment does not lead to statistically significant changes in the gut microbiota of cirrhotic patients, but only in those with chronic hepatitis. Unfortunately, the Authors do not state the number of these two subgroups.
