Description:
Authors' response to Edward L. Murphy's letter [Ann Intern Med. 2012 Jul 17;157(2):149-50. doi: 10.7326/0003-4819-157-2-201207170-00021] to their article "The Increasing Burden of Mortality From Viral Hepatitis in the United States" [Ann Intern Med. 2012 Feb 21;156(4):271-8. doi: 10.7326/0003-4819-156-4-201202210-00004.]. Our analysis of approximately 22 million multiple-cause death certificates from 1999 to 2007 showed increasing mortality among persons noted to have HCV infection; by 2007, there were more recorded deaths among HCV-infected persons than among HIV-infected persons. We have since received data on deaths in 2008 and have recorded an extension of the same trends as shown in that article.
