Scope note: INFLAMACIÓN del HÍGADO de los seres humanos producida por el VIRUS DE LA HEPATITIS C, un virus ARN monocatenario. Su periodo de incubación es de 30-90 días. La hepatitis C se transmite principalmente por vía parenteral a través de sangre contaminada, y a menudo se asocia a la transfusión de sangre o al consumo de drogas por vía intravenosa. Sin embargo, en un número significativo de casos no se conoce la fuente de la infección de la hepatitis C.
