Abstract:
Viral hepatitis is one of the serious infectious diseases affecting the health of Chinese residents. The World Health Organization (WHO) has set the goal of eliminating the threat of viral hepatitis by 2030 as a global public health goal. However, in the prevention and control of viral hepatitis C, due to the etiological characteristics of the hepatitis C virus and the particularity of the natural history of HCV infection, there has been no breakthrough in the research of hepatitis C vaccine. The specificity of the HCV infection population, alongside the fact that the majority of those infected with HCV remain asymptomatic, presents numerous challenges in controlling and preventing hepatitis C. This article provides a comprehensive review of the virology, epidemiology, and current prevention and control challenges faced in the management of hepatitis C.
