| Resumen: |
Purpose of Review The goal is to describe the epidemiology, disease burden and detection, available therapies, and current challenges to access care for people with chronic hepatitis C infection in Colombia. Recent Findings There are no detailed statistics about the prevalence of HCVin Colombia; nonetheless, majority of patients with hepatitis C are infected with genotype 1 and having received blood products before 1996 represents the main risk factor. The use of intravenous drugs has started to be recognized as a population at risk that is in increment. Direct-acting antivirals became available in 2016 in Colombia thanks to a centralized purchase program with the Pan American Health Organization. Summary There are well-established guidelines for the use of available antivirals for all disease stages and genotypes and sustained virologic response (SVR) rates are 95 to 100%. Underdiagnosis, access and linkage to care, and disease stigmatization have contributed to a low number of patients that have actually completed their therapy. |
