The first plot against the disease industry expert: Hepatitis C!
Recently the world about every 12 people have a chronic viral hepatitis infection (including hepatitis B and hepatitis C), this year’s World Hepatitis Day theme is: Do you do a 12th?
Xiaojun 30 years old, it had never occurred, and his colleagues go to the hospital checkup, and occasionally actually increase in this project there is a problem – she had been detected infected with HCV.
Always keeping oneself clean in Xiaojun, how could not understand their own infected with hepatitis C? She checked the Internet at high risk of suffering from hepatitis C the characteristics of their own are not … … was later learned that two-year-old, she was hospitalized because of pneumonia and had a doctor’s the recommendation of blood transfusion.
1989, no, “hepatitis C” is the word
1989, U.S. scientists have discovered that a new type of hepatitis virus before, people do not know the disease hepatitis C, in which, before the spread of hepatitis C has been quietly for decades.
In China, hepatitis C is from the 1993-1994 standardized testing began to spread, and in 1994, before the blood products is with the hepatitis C virus, unable to determine. Experts have recommended, inter alia, in 1994 the best to be a blood transfusion before screening for HCV antibodies.
90% of people do not understand hepatitis C
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) on the liver damage is very subtle, hepatitis C patients, only 10% of people have symptoms. Many hepatitis C virus-infected persons has been expressed in the normal liver function tests, so easily missed. Of hepatitis C virus with other viruses is different from acute infection rarely cause symptoms, and general physical examination related to hepatitis C rarely do inspections, so that recessive carriers of hepatitis C is difficult to know in time the fact that they have been infected.
Both children and adults, if you do not receive treatment, 70% -80% of HCV infected people will switch to the chronically ill. While the adults infected with hepatitis B virus, only 5% -10% will turn into chronic. To make matters worse, hepatitis C develop cirrhosis, liver cancer in hepatitis B above. Hepatitis C if active treatment, 20 years the proportion of cirrhosis occurs after 10% -30%, cirrhosis of the liver is often able to set their own dies, the other of which there are 5% -10% develop into liver cancer, the only effective the treatment is a liver transplant. Because the liver can be infected with the virus for many years without any symptoms, but once the disease is often a condition is already very heavy.
How the spread of hepatitis C
Hepatitis C through blood, broken skin, mucus, sexuality, and mother to child transmission, therefore, there had been blood transfusion, use of non-disposable syringes and without the strict disinfection of dental instruments, endoscopy, acupuncture, piercing equipment, as well as had unclean sexual history, or have been used without rigorous disinfection apparatus for tattoos, Wen-mei, wearing earrings and other skin and mucous membrane pore traumatic operations people may be infected with hepatitis C have.
Objectively speaking, hugging, kissing, eating is not contagious. But the need to emphasize that kissing does not transmission of hepatitis C on the premise that both sides of the mouth kissing those who do not have any damage, that is in oral mucosal barrier integrity of the case is not contagious. If there are ulcers, it is difficult to say.
