Ludhiana, September 11 This was stated by Dr Gursaran Sidhu, chief physician of Sidhu Hospital, Doraha, yesterday while addressing a session on the ‘Rising incidence of hepatitis C’. The session was organised by the local branch of Indian Medical Association under the chairmanship of Dr Rajoo Singh Chinna, Professor and Head, Department of Gastroenterology at Dayanand Medical College and Hospital.

She said the condition was a blood-borne, infectious and viral disease. The infection could cause liver inflammation that was often asymptomatic, but ensuing chronic hepatitis could lead to cirrhosis or even liver cancer. “The HCV is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person’s blood. Many people with the HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Current standard of care treatment is a combination of (pegylated) interferon alpha and the anti-viral drug ribavirin for a period of 24 or 48 weeks, which costs around Rs 2 lakh. In other words, the treatment modality is beyond the reach of majority of the victims.
