Often see statements like: Do not drink alcohol (after treatment), and then come out "+" (PCR gepS). Explain please, what a close correlation between PCR and HVC alkogolem.Ved is a viral disease and the virus killed a treatment plant or not.

Respond Stanislav Y. Karpov, hepatology, gastroenterology, hepatology and gastroenterology clinic Medal absence of virus in the blood of C after treatment can not talk about its complete elimination from the body. Since the virus can persist in a dormant state in the liver tissue, in blood cells. Therefore, there is the possibility of reactivation. Similar question: From RT-PCR assays for hepatitis C exists only RNA PCR? Or else, and the DNA?
