Hepatitis C

A Clinical Update

Steven D. Colquhoun, MD

Arch Surg. 1996;131(1):18-23.

Abstract

Hepatitis C virus is now known to be the causative agent forat least 90% of non-A, non-B hepatitis cases. In the few yearssince its characterization, much has been learned about thisvirus and the scope of its disease. It now appears that closeto 100% of infections may become chronic, with delayed but potentiallydevastating consequences. The treatment options for hepatitisC remain limited and less than satisfactory. A vaccine seemsto be a distant goal, but other strategies for treatment maybe closer. For now, the best option remains prevention. (ArchSurg. 1996;131:18-23)
