南医大北美校友会与南加州中華科工學會医学专题讲座--慢性丙型肝炎 診斷与防治:现状与进展 (10:00AM-2:00PM,6-29-2013)
丙型病毒性肝炎(简称丙肝),是由丙型肝炎病毒(HCV)引起的传染病。通过腸胃道外傳播(parenteraltransmission),而最主要传播途径是受污染的血液。施打藥物或毒品習慣的人(如共用针头)通常是得到丙肝的高危險群。除了血液傳染之外,HCV也可能會經由性行為與垂直傳染來傳播,至今为止仍有高達40%感染者是由於不明原因而感染,所以似乎還有未知的傳染途徑存在。估计目前全世界有1.7亿携带病毒者或者患病者,是当前危害人民健康最严重的传染病。丙肝易发展为慢性肝炎和肝硬化,少数病人可转变为原发性肝癌。目前问题的关键是,提高对丙肝疾病的重视及教育,加强对HCV感染的筛查,强调对丙肝患者的早期治疗。因此,.AASMU-NA和CESASC特请知名肝病专家胡克勤教授作专题讲座。胡医师
