摘要：
Hepatitis C virus has recently been identified as an important cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Acute hepatitis C infection is clinically indistinguishable from other types of viral hepatitis but is much more likely to become chronic. Chronic hepatitis C is a significant cause of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. While modes of transmission, diagnosis, and treatment are currently controversial, Dr Brady discusses some approaches for dealing with this emerging problem.
