Hepatitis C is transmitted through the use of unsterile needles, blood transfusion, and sexual relations. In some cases, transmission may also occur from mother to fetus.
"Chronic hepatitis is the leading cause of preventable premature death. However early detection and intervention of this disease can be cheaper and save the life," said Dr.Scott Holmberg, chairman of the CDCs division of viral hepatitis.
