One strong possibility is that this brain fog results from a direct neurotoxic immunologic effect of the hepatitis C virus upon the CNS, according to one doctor of the University of Toronto.

Typical complaints of brain fog in patients with chronic hepatitis C involve forgetfulness, fatigue, difficulty in concentrating, and depression.
