Hepatitis C: Issues in Children.
Gastroenterology Clinics of North America 2015 December

Liver disease owing to chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection progresses slowly in individuals infected early in life. Serious complications rarely affect patients during childhood. Successful treatment of HCV in adults has improved and recommendations have changed.

If treatment cannot be deferred, regimens including peginterferon and ribavirin can be given to children with compensated liver disease.
