Hepatitis C (HCV) primarily causes a long-lasting liver disease. It is spread by contact with infected blood. It first became evident in 1974 that a non A/non B hepatitis virus existed. Finally, a test was discovered that could be used to identify the virus in 1989 and from the early 1990s all blood units were screened for HCV. Hepatitis C is more likely than Hepatitis B to cause liver disease. 丙型肝炎(HCV)主要导致长期肝病。它通过接触受感染的血液传播。1974年,一种非a /非B型肝炎病毒首次明显存在。最后,1989年发现了一种可用于识别病毒的检测方法,从1990年代初开始,所有血液单位都被筛查出是否有丙肝病毒。丙肝比乙肝更容易引起肝脏疾病。
