Doctors are particularly concerned about the treatment of chronic Hepatitis C as well as its consequences on the peripheral nerves of people. Another of the side effects of Hepatitis C is peripheral neuropathy, a condition of the nerves. This study aims to estimate the frequency of peripheral neuropathy (PN) in people with chronic hepatitis C.
