Hepatitis C virus is a positive-sense RNA virus that is parenterally transmitted and is associated with chronic liver disease – fibrosis, cirrhosis, liver failure and hepatocellular carcinoma. The virus infects an estimated 123 million individuals worldwide with 5 million new infections occurring per annum.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a flavivirus that is endemic worldwide. Six genotypes are commonly recognized; a seventh rare genotype has been identified. Given its relative prevalence, this chapter focuses on genotypes 1 through 4. HCV is transmitted by blood-borne routes. Most acute infections are asymptomatic and progress to chronicity.

Ed H W Reesink Karger, $193.75, pp 212 ISBN 3 8055 5866 X The availability of serological tests for hepatitis A and B viruses in the 1970s made it clear that most parenterally transmitted hepatitis was due to neither of these viruses. It was not until 1988 that the identification of a cDNA clone made possible the first reliable diagnostic test for ...

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infects an estimated 170 million persons worldwide and thus represents a viral pandemic, one that is five times as widespread as infection with the human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1). The institution of blood-screening measures in developed countries has decreased the risk of transfusion-associated hepatitis to a ...

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on hepatitis C virus (HCV), causes viral hepatitis, called non-A, non-B (NANB) hepatitis that spread predominantly via transfusion of blood, blood products, and intravenous drug abuse. The high morbidity and mortality due to HCV infection has provided impetus for ongoing research into biology, epidemiology ...

Chronic infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) affects approximately 170 million people worldwide and is the most frequent indication for liver transplantation in the United States and Europe. It is estimated that up to four million persons in the United States have been infected with HCV, and analysis of existing data on the current prevalence and ...

Hepatitis C virus and the brain
Journal of Viral Hepatitis, 2012Summary. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an enveloped, positive‐strand RNA virus of the family Flaviviridae that primarily infects hepatocytes, causing acute and chronic liver disease. HCV is also associated with a variety of extrahepatic symptoms including central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities, cognitive dysfunction, fatigue and depression.

Infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) has become a global health problem with a prevalence estimated by the World Health Organization of 2%, representing 123 million people. In developed countries, HCV infection is the most common form of chronic viral hepatitis and up to 20% of those chronically infected will develop cirrhosis and 1–4% of these will ...
