Hepatitis C virus primarily infects liver cells and can lead to
chronic damage to the liver. Patients with hepatitis C infection
often develop liver sequelae such as fibrosis, cirrhosis, and
hepatocellular carcinoma if left untreated. It is estimated that
150 million people worldwide are infected with hepatitis C virus,
and if eradication is to be achieved it is imperative to diagnose
and treat such individuals.
