Abstract: Serum non-organ-specific autoantibodies(NOSA) and anti-thyroid autoantibodies(ATAB) were often found positive in patients with chronic hepatitis C and hepatitis C viral carriers. The patients were characterized by loss of autoimmune tolerance, which might cause a set of autoimmune diseases in this setting. The progress in this field will be discussed in this article.

Key words: Hepatitis C, Autoimmunity, Antinuclear antibodie, Autoimmune thyroid diseases, Interferon-alpha
