Hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been localized in several extra-hepatic sites. Recent evidence suggests that the stomach can harbour HCV. We therefore evaluated the prevalence of gastric localization of HCV and its possible relationship with the chronic inflammatory response to Helicobacter pylori infection.
