Hepatitis C (HCV or Hep C) is a disease caused by an RNA virus that affects approximately 170 million people worldwide[1] and is most often known for its associations with liver damage.[2]
Hepatitis C incidence has been shown to be increased in chronic fatigue syndrome patients.[citation needed]
Prevalence[edit | edit source]
It is estimated that between 130-200 million people worldwide have a hepatitis C infection, occurring most commonly in Africa and Central and East Asia.[2] In 2013, hepatitis C was the cause of around 358,000 deaths due to cirrhosis and 343,000 deaths due to liver cancer.[3]
