Abstract
Hepatitis C virus infection is responsible for significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Advances in detection and monitoring of hepatitis C virus infection, as well as treatment protocols, have contributed to the medical focus on this high profile disease. Presence of risk factors should increase the clinicians index of suspicion for this symptomatically nonspecific disease.
