Summary:The liver histology of 68 consecutive anti‐HCV/HCV‐RNA positive chronic hepatitis patients who were HBsAg/anti‐HBs negative, anti‐HBc positive (Case bC group) was compared with that of 68 anti‐HCV/HCV‐RNA positive chronic hepatitis patients who were HBsAg/anti‐HBc negative (control C group). The patients were pair‐matched by age (±5 years), sex, and risk factors for the acquisition of parenteral infection. Case bC group showed a significantly higher mean fibrosis score (2.3 ± 1.1) than control C group (1.5 ± 1.1, P
