Lesão e inflamação hepáticas agudas causadas por infecção recente e de curto prazo (menos de 6 meses) pelo vírus da hepatite C (HCV). A transmissão ocorre por contaminação de sangue e fluidos corporais (disseminação parenteral) na maioria dos casos, e raramente por disseminação sexual ou da mãe para o bebê no momento do nascimento (transmissão vertical). O diagnóstico é confirmado pela presença de anti-HCV de aquisição recente com presença de HCV RNA no soro. As manifestações clínicas ocorrem em uma minoria de casos e são caracterizadas por anorexia, náusea e febre, raramente com icterícia. Uma alta proporção de casos (>70%) desenvolve infecção VHC crônica, com doença hepática de gravidade variável. | |||
