• Excitement

  Exciting progress has recently been made in understanding the replication of hepatitis C virus, a major cause of chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma worldwide. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  An exciting area of progress has been the delineation of cis -acting RNA elements that guide viral replication. [nature.com]

See Workup for more detail. Management Treatment of acute hepatitis C has rapidly evolved and continues to evolve. HCV infection has become a curable disease, although a vaccine does not yet exist. See Treatment and Medication for more detail. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prognosis of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) The probable outcome of a viral infection depends a lot of what type of the hepatitis C virus you are infected with. [myvmc.com]

With early diagnosis and treatment, the current prognosis is excellent for those who are chronically infected. [emedicinehealth.com]

Abstract Scleromyxedema (SM) is a chronic and progressive fibromucinous disease with no known etiology. We report a patient with scleromyxedema associated with hepatitis C virus, successfully treated with interferon and ribavirin therapy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the major etiologic agent of non-A, non-B hepatitis. HCV infection frequently causes chronic hepatitis, which progresses to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. [doi.org]

Information on their past transmission and epidemiology might be obtained by estimation of the time of divergence of the different genotypes of HCV, HBV and HGV/GBV–C using knowledge of their rates of sequence change. [doi.org]

In this paper, we study the molecular epidemiology of HCV genotype 2 in its region of endemic origin, west and central Africa. Our analysis includes 56 new and highly diverse HCV isolates sampled from infected individuals in Guinea-Bissau. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
