ABSTRACT
The basic morphologic features of acute and chronic viral hepatitis C are similar to those of other hepatitides; however, hepatitis C is characterized by the histologic triad of lymphoid aggregates in portal tracts, epithelial damage of small bile ducts and microvesicular and macrovesicular steatosis of hepatocytes. Significant progress has been made in the demonstration of HCV in infected liver tissues by immunohistochemical and in situ hybridization techniques. The new classification of chronic hepatitis, based on etiology, grading (extent of necroinflammatory activity) and staging (extent of fibrosis) has been widely accepted and will lead to a better understanding of the variable course and response to therapy of this enigmatic disease.
