New research shows promise for treating hepatitis C in pregnancy
New research from Washington University suggests a promising approach for treating hepatitis C during pregnancy. The infection, which can pass from mother to baby, has often gone untreated in expectant mothers because of safety concerns about antiviral drugs. If further studies confirm the findings, doctors could have a clearer path to treating pregnant patients and reducing transmission to newborns.
Why now: The findings could change clinical practice for a group previously excluded from hepatitis C treatment.
