This pocketbook presents a contemporary approach to the natural history and management of chronic hepatitis C virus infection. Many people infected have no specific symptoms and the treatment has several adverse effects, hence the need for explanation to the patient of the diseases, as well as explanation of the long-term treatment benefit is particularly important.
