Abstract

This document is a reply to a critique of a paper on the prevalence of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections in Switzerland. The authors of the reply address the criticisms made by the critique and defend their estimates of HCV prevalence in Switzerland. They argue that the critique's assumptions and methodology are flawed and provide evidence to support their own estimates. They also mention positive feedback they received from other scientists in the field. The authors conclude that Switzerland has reached the World Health Organization's elimination targets for HCV and that prevalence estimates should be revised. [Extracted from the article]
