The proportion of people infected with hepatitis C who develop chronic infection is

  • A.under five per cent
  • B.about one in ten
  • C.essentially none
  • D.more than half

Answer: D

Fewer than half clear the virus without treatment, so most acute infections become chronic, which is the opposite of the pattern in adult hepatitis B. Chronicity combined with a silent early course is what made hepatitis C such a large reservoir of undiagnosed liver disease.
