Hepatitis C is a liver
infection that can lead to serious liver damage. It's caused by the
hepatitis C virus. About 3.9 million people in the U.S. have the disease. But it causes few symptoms, so most of them don't know. The
virus spreads through an infected person's blood or body fluids. The
hepatitis C
virus is a small, enveloped, positive-sense single-stranded RNA
virus of the family Flaviviridae. The
hepatitis C
virus is the cause of
hepatitis C and some cancers such as liver
cancer and lymphomas in humans.
