From Library Journal
Hepatitis, a complex, ever-challenging viral illness, continues to keep scientists and physicians groping for answers and treatments. Hepatitis C (HCV), discovered in 1989 and responsible for 10,000 U.S. deaths annually, is distinctive because it causes chronic conditions such as serious liver damage, cirrhosis, liver cancer, and death. Treatment options are limited, no vaccine is available, interferon has been the therapy of choiceAand there is a lack of education among primary caregivers. Health writer Turkington (The Brain Encyclopedia, LJ 7/96) provides a comprehensive sourcebook covering all aspects of its transmission and treatments modalities from drug therapies to liver transplantion. Appendixes include HCV support organizations, research groups, and websites. Addressed to the general reader, those infected, and their families, this book is comparable to Gregory T. Everson and Hedy Weinberg's Living with Hepatitis C (LJ 11/15/97), and consumer health collections may wish to purchase both.AJames Swanton, Harlem Hosp. Lib., New York
