There are at least six different types of hepatitis (A-G), with the three most common types being hepatitis A hepatitis B and hepatitis C . Hepatitis A is an acute infection and people usually improve without treatment. Hepatitis B and hepatitis C can cause a chronic, persistent infection, which can lead to chronic liver disease. There is a vaccine to prevent hepatitis A and B, however there is not one for hepatitis C. The New York State Department of Health, along with the New York State County Health Departments, offer ways to control and prevent the spread of hepatitis infection. Public health clinics, located in each county, may offer testing and vaccination (hepatitis A, hepatitis B) to those at risk for hepatitis. In addition, hepatitis counseling and educational information is offered to individuals who may have been exposed to hepatitis, engage in behaviors putting them at risk for developing infection, and to those who may already know they are infected and want to learn about how they can protect others from becoming infected.

Table of Contents FDA Consumer magazine March-April 1999 Hepatitis C New Treatment Helps Some, But Cure Remains Elusive by John Henkel Elaine Moreland knew she wasn't imagining the symptoms. Fatigue, migraines, nausea, memory loss, anxiety, and dizziness all were wreaking havoc in her life. Yet doctor after doctor could find nothing wrong with her. Some said she was depressed. Others blamed hypochondria. Finally, in 1992, after suffering for several years, she went to another doctor in tears. "I told him that I was not leaving his office until he found something, she says. Through extensive testing, he did. Moreland, then 32, had hepatitis C. The nation's most common blood-borne infection, hepatitis C is estimated to affect some 4 million Americans in its chronic form. Eventually, as many as 70 percent of them will develop liver disease, according to the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In congressional testimony last year, former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, M.D., called hepatitis C "a disease these millions will carry for a decade or morepossibly spreading to otherswhile it develops into a serious threat to their health." Hepatitis C is one of five currently identified viruseshepatitis A, B, C, D, and Eall of which can attack and damage the liver. Widely viewed as one of the most serious of the five, the hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread primarily through contact with infected blood and can cause cirrhosis (irreversible and potentially fatal liver scarring), liver cancer, or liver failure. Hepatitis C is the major reason for liver transplants in the United States, accounting for 1,000 of the procedures annually. The disease is responsible for between 8,000 and 10,000 deaths yearly.
