Hepatitis C Virus Causes Brain Inflammation Leading to Neuron Injury
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) can breach the blood-brain barrier
and infect support cells in the brain, triggering inflammatory
changes that ultimately result in damage to neurons,
suggests new research published in the open access online
journal PLoS One. Findings from this autopsy
study may help explain how HCV infection causes neurocognitive
impairment, including the poor concentration and memory
problems commonly referred to as "brain fog."
