- W1983005190 abstract "Since the detection of hepatitis B virus (HBV) in the 1960s and hepatitis A virus in the 1970s, a considerable proportion of infections of (probably viral) hepatitis could not be classified. About 90% of transfusion-related hepatitis was identified as non-A/non-B. In 1988 investigators from the Chiron Company (USA) detected the non-A, non-B agent and named it hepatitis C virus (HCV). An anti-HCV antibody assay (ELISA) and subsequently confirmation tests (immunoblot and polymerase chain reaction) were developed. HCV infection results in a chronic carrier state of the virus in about 80%. Almost all HCV carriers have, irrespective of their liver function tests, histologic signs of chronic hepatitis and/or liver cirrhosis. Chronic HCV infection is, like HBV, also associated with the development of hepatocellular carcinoma. Most HCV carriers are infected by parenteral routes (intravenous drug use, blood transfusion, tattooing). Intravenous drug users and haemophilia patients have the highest risk (80-90%) of becoming infected. Sexual and perinatal transmission does not play an important role in spreading the infection. Antiviral therapy (alpha-interferon) in patients with chronic hepatitis C will normalize liver function tests in about 25% of the cases, but it is unclear if the HCV carrier state will disappear and if liver cirrhosis will be prevented. At present no specific immunoglobulin or vaccine preparations are available to prevent the HCV infection." @default.
