57 results about "Chronic viral hepatitis C" patented technology

This long-lasting liver infection is caused by the hepatitis C virus. It begins as an acute hepatitis that starts within the first 6 months of exposure to the virus. For most people who get it -- up to 85% -- the illness moves into a long-lasting stage. This is called a chronic hepatitis C infection.
