title: [Hepatitis C virus infection (HCV) as a pediatric problem].
abstract: Hepatitis C is a major health problem also in children. General screening is not advisable. Screening should be limited to the risk groups. Nowadays there are not any large studies on the treatment of chronic hepatitis C in children. Available studies suggest that children have response rates to interferon monotherapy similar to adults.
