Hepatitis C differs from hepatitis B in that hepatitis C

  • A.carries a DNA genome rather than RNA
  • B.is prevented by an effective vaccine
  • C.never progresses to chronic infection
  • D.can usually be cured with a course of tablets

Answer: D

Direct-acting antivirals eliminate hepatitis C in more than 95 per cent of those treated, whereas hepatitis B persists in the hepatocyte nucleus and is generally suppressed rather than cured. The vaccine position is the reverse: B has one and C does not.
