Hepatitis C
The hepatitis C virus is what causes hepatitis C [8]. This virus can cause hepatitis, either acute or chronic, with varying degrees of severity ranging from a few weeks of moderate illness to a major disease that can even be fatal. An estimated 80 million persons globally are said to have an active hepatitis C virus infection. According to national Australian data, 199230 individuals have a chronic hepatitis C infection. According to Australian statistics, out of 10537 cases of Hepatitis C notifications in 2017, just one-third were female. Reusing needles and syringes that have been used by someone who may be contaminated increases your risk of contracting Hepatitis C. Sexual contact is another method of infection.
