Abstract
Heterologous immunity can impact the natural course of subsequent infections by different mechanisms such as polarization of TH1/TH2 responses, induction of cytokines and T cell cross-reactivity. In the case of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, heterologous immunity helps to explain the high variability in clinical outcomes. This review discusses how other infections can alter the natural course of hepatitis C and how HCV infection influence unrelated infections.Entities:
