Hepatitis "C" Virus can cause both acute and chronic infections the acute process is self limited, rarely causes hepatic failure and leads to chronic infection. As hepatitis C is asymptomatic in early stages of disease because patients are unaware that they are infected and patients usually present late and then they are not eligible to take antiviral therapy.
