► Hepatitis C is one of the most important viral infections to understand for USMLE exams and clinical practice—especially when it comes to diagnosis, chronic infection, and treatment.
In this high-yield lecture, we break down hepatitis C into a clear, step-by-step clinical framework, so you can move beyond memorization and actually understand how to approach patients.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
🦠 How hepatitis C is transmitted (blood, sexual, perinatal)
📊 Acute vs chronic infection (and why ~75% become chronic)
⏳ The concept of viremia and long-term infection
⚠️ Why antibodies do NOT provide immunity
🧪 Step-by-step HCV testing algorithm (Antibody → RNA)
📉 The “window period” and how it affects diagnosis
🧠 How to interpret discordant lab results (Antibody vs RNA)
💊 Modern treatment with direct-acting antivirals (DAAs)
📈 Why hepatitis C is now curable in most patients
