Abstract :
We have read the article published in your journal writtenby Sofian et al., entitled “the serum profile of Th1 andTh2 cytokines in treated and non-treated HCV infected individuals”. Evidences well documented that the simultaneous elevation of Th1 and Th2 related cytokines during HCV infection may indicate that both (Thl and Th2) cytokine profiles are involved in the pathogenesis of the diseases. Moreover, this activated T cell response in HCV infected patients could be regulated by treatment protocols.
