Abstract
HCV is likely to poses certain neurotropism and modern researches prove its possibility for extrahepatic translation, including. A review observes and summarizes contemporary data about functional and morphologic signs of HCV-infection on the human brain, and presents possible directions of further morphologic study, that is however remains on the initial stadium.
