However, the day was still in observance as international Hepatitis C Awareness day by some patient groups. The first World Hepatitis Day was observed on 19th May 2008. However, in 2010, the World Health Assembly adopted a resolution that moved the holiday to July 28th. This date was ...
In the 1970s, an unknown virus was suspected for documented cases of transfusion-associated hepatitis, a phenomenon called non-A, non-B hepatitis. In 1989, the infectious transmissible agent was identified and named hepatitis C virus (HCV) and, soon enou
Hepatitis C virus(HCV), discovered in 1989, was the long sought-after and highly elusive causative agent of post-transfusion non-A, non-B hepatitis. This hugely important discovery allowed rapid development of serological screening assays forHCVinfection and their adoption for blood donor screening....
C Puoti,R Castellacci,F Montagnese 摘要: Since the discovery of hepatitis C virus, the availability of serological hepatitis C virus screening has led to the identification of many subjects with normal aminotransferase levels who are chronically infected by the hepatitis C virus. To date, the ...
This review recaps the current knowledge about the HCV genome 15 years after its discovery. The structure and function of particular viral structural (core, E1, E2) and nonstructural (NS2, NS3, NS4, NS5) proteins and noncoding regions known to date are described. With respect to frequent ...

Viral hepatitis is an infection that causes liver inflammation and damage. Several different contagions beget hepatitis, including hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. The hepatitis A and E contagions generally beget acute infections. The hepatitis B, C, and D contagions can beget acute and habit...
The cost of chronic hepatitis C and its sequelae is high in both financial and human terms. At present, only anti-HCV screening of blood/organ/tissue donors and universal precautions for the prevention of blood-borne infections are recommended for HCV prevention. Before the discovery of the ...
Finally, there is an increasing drive towards the elimination of viral hepatitis B and C as aspired by the Word Health Organization.1 Notably, a prerequisite for the eradication of hepatitis viruses in humans is the absence of an animal reservoir. The discovery of hepatitis virus homologues in ...
