Abstract
Viral interference phenomena explain why individuals coinfected with several hepatitis viruses tend to display predominance of replication of one over others. Overall, HCV tends to suppress HBV, although both viruses may replicate overtly in severely immunosuppressed patients, as in those with advanced HIV disease (Soriano, et al. Curr Opin HIV/AIDS Rep. 2015, in press).
