e.g. Hepatitis C:
Chronic Hepatitis C is due to a liver viral infection (HCV) transmitted by blood or sexually. Chronic hepatitis C can lead to liver Cirrhosis and liver cancer.
170m people worldwide are infected, because it is highly contagious, among the 10 to 20 M people worldwide infected every year by unsafe injections, 2.5 to 4.5 M are infected by Hep.C.
No vaccine for Hepatitis C is available. The gold-standard chronic treatment (based on a pegylated interferon and antiviral drugs) is administered chronically by sub-cutaneous injection.
