Hepatitis C virus is called the “affectionate killer”. They call it that because it initially proceeds almost asymptomatically. A person lives and does not know that he is sick with hepatitis C. Nothing but weakness and general malaise can be observed at first. A person learns that he is often ill only after laboratory diagnosis. But laboratory diagnostics are expensive and not everyone is sent to it. Hepatitis C sometimes proceeds imperceptibly and can become chronic only after 20-30 years. And the chronic form is in 20% of cases cirrhosis, and sometimes leads to the development of primary liver cancer.
