Hepatitis C: the lurking dragon.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is the most common chronic blood-borne infection in the United States. An estimated 3.9 million Americans (1.4%) are infected with HCV. The 10th leading cause of death in U.S. adults is chronic liver disease (CLD), which accounts for 25,000 deaths annually. Approximately 40% of all CLD is related to HCV, causing 8000 to 10,000 deaths annually. In addition, approximately 60% of people with HIV are believed to be coinfected with HCV, which hastens their progression to AIDS.
