	Vertically Acquired HCV: natural history
		Hepatomegaly, the only clinical sign reported, was found in 10% of children and was significantly associated with a high proportion of abnormal alanine transaminase (ALT) levels (adjusted odds ratio [OR], 4.17; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.67-10.42; P =.002).
		Although hepatomegaly was observed in only a minority of children, it was significantly associated with a high proportion of abnormal ALT levels.
		Hepatomegaly, viremia, and high ALT levels were found to be indicative of active infection in the same children, and low viral activity early in life was associated with clearance later on.
