Correspondence Infectious causes of stroke
Although the causality of hepatitis C virus in stroke is not conclusive, some clinical studies have shown an increased risk of stroke in patients with chronic hepatitis C. In their Review, Jennifer Fugate and colleagues1 propose several interesting hypotheses to explain the link between chronic infection and stroke that might also be applied to the association of hepatitis C virus infection with stroke. Accumulating evidence shows the metabolic manifestations of hepatitis C virus, and provides a strong link between hepatitis C virus clearance and a decrease in the risk of stroke.
