Hepatitis C is Spread through viruse is name (HCV) .Hepatitis C is a viral Disease and effect on human body parts (liver) and caused inflammation and their function degrate.
Sign and Symptoms:
The following symptoms could occur with hepatitis C infection:
Hepatitis C can be treated with pegylated interferon alpha and ribavirin. These drugs offer the best chance to clear the virus from the body, and are often used together as dual or combination therapy which has been shown to be effective in 55 per cent of cases. Some strains or genotypes of the hepatitis C virus are more likely to respond than others. Even if the virus isn’t completely cleared, the treatments can reduce inflammation and scarring of the liver. They may, however, cause side effects that some people find difficult to tolerate.
Transmission of HCV can be prevented in several ways.
There is no clear way to prevent transmission of the HCV from mother to child.
Prevention programs have been aimed at avoiding needle sharing among drug addicts. Needle exchange programs and educational interventions have reduced transmission of HCV infection. However, the population of drug addicts is a difficult population to reach, and rates of HCV remain high among addicts (30% of younger users).
There is no clear way to prevent transmission of the HCV from mother to child.
Persons with multiple sexual partners should use barrier precautions such as condoms to limit the risk of HCV as well as other sexually-transmitted diseases.
Among healthcare workers, safe needle-usage techniques have been developed to reduce accidental needle-sticks. Newer syringes have self-capping needle systems that avoid the need to manually replace a cap after drawing blood and reduce the risk of needle-sticks.
If one partner is infected, monogamous couples should consider the low risk of transmission of HCV infection when deciding whether to use condoms during intercourse. Some couples may decide to use them and some may not.
Screening tests for blood products have almost eliminated the risk of transmission of HCV infection through transfusion, estimated by the CDC to be less than one in two million transfused blood products.
It is critical that physicians and clinics follow manufacturer's directions for sterilizing/cleaning instruments and that disposable instruments be discarded properly.
People with HCV infection should not share razors or toothbrushes with others.
