Hepatitis C Support Group
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
Federal officials announced the death Wednesday, saying the woman was the first to die of this kind of flu in North America. But they say the likelihood that she infected anyone else or that the country will soon start seeing other similar cases is extremely low.
