M Cabell Jonas et al. Infect Dis Clin North Am. 2018 Jun.

Abstract

Hepatitis C virus infection remains a significant global health problem. Many individuals are unaware of their infection or disease stage. Innovations in care that promote rapid and easy identification of at-risk populations for screening, comprehensive diagnostic screening, and triage to curative direct-acting antiviral medications will accelerate efforts to eradicate hepatitis C.

Keywords: Cascade of care; Clinical pathway; Hepatitis C virus; Infectious disease screening; Viral hepatitis.
