Description

Hepatitis C is a serious viral illness that affects the liver. Most often spread by blood-to-blood contact, the majority of people infected with hepatitis C do not know they are infected until liver damage has occurred. Because the hepatitis C virus changes its form frequently, presently there is no vaccine for HCV; but once diagnosed, effective treatment is available for many. Written for people diagnosed with hepatitis C and under the care of a physician, this informative book is designed to answer questions about the condition and allow the reader to play an active role in its treatment.
