During the early phases of a hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, natural killer (NK) cells activation appears to be critical in the innate immune responses that have the potential of clearing the infection. Impaired activity of NK cells has been proposed as a mechanism contributing to viral persistence and chronic infection in HCV infection. We aim to assess the impact of HCV infections on NK cells regarding frequency, and subset distribution. The correlation between the phenotype of NK subsets and the various stages was assayed. Number of total NK cells was significantly reduced and a...
