Hepatitis C / Sonya Norris.YM32-6/99-15E-PDF

"In recent years, hepatitis C has become a familiar disease to most Canadians as a result of the much- publicized scandal about its transmission via blood transfusion or blood products. Although the disease itself is not new, the virus responsible for it has only recently been identified, and much work remains to gain a full understanding of how it affects the progression of the disease. This paper will review some of the major aspects of hepatitis C, including ongoing research aimed at developing an effective method of treatment, immunization and cure, and will summarize the issues surrounding compensation for Canadians who contracted hepatitis C through the blood supply"--Background, page [1].
