FEATURES OF THE COURSE OF VIRAL HEPATITIS C IN YOUNG CHILDREN
Abstract
Viral hepatitis C (HCV) in young children continues to be a significant health problem, including in the context of declining prevalence of other types of parenteral hepatitis. Features of the course of HCV in early childhood are associated with the immaturity of the immune system and the possibility of vertical transmission of infection from mother to child. This article examines the main routes of infection in young children, clinical manifestations and modern approaches to diagnosis and treatment [1]. Risk factors for the chronic course of hepatitis C are analyzed and the need for early screening diagnostics is emphasized, which allows timely initiation of antiviral therapy and improves the outcome of the disease [2].
