编者按:丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)感染是慢性肝炎的主要原因之一,HCV在传播时,会发生无症状的急性感染,约80%的急性丙型肝炎可转化为慢性丙型肝炎(CHC),甚至进展为肝硬化、肝细胞癌(HCC)。丙型肝炎是第一个可以治愈的慢性病毒感染性疾病。随着直接抗病 ...
不久前,李大爷因痔疮手术,术前检查时丙肝抗体呈阳性,进一步检测丙肝RNA阳性,术后来到感染科门诊就诊,一脸茫然的询问医生,自己平时很注意卫生,为什么会得丙肝?没有症状的话为什么还要治疗?如果不治有危害吗?能治愈吗?……其实很多人是在检查其他项目的时偶 ...
在一次常规的术前检查中,李大爷意外得知自己感染了丙型肝炎,引发了他内心的一连串疑问。作为一种常见但颇具隐蔽性的病毒,丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)的危害并不容易被察觉,很多人往往在检查其他疾病时才偶然发现自己携带了这个"沉默的杀手”。今天,让我们一起来探讨丙肝以及它对健康的影响。 什么是丙肝? 丙型肝炎是由丙肝病毒引起的一种以肝脏为主要攻击目标的传染病。绝大多数患者在感染初期并没有明显的症状,这就是为什么 ...
