=== Epidemiology ===<br />
* About 5% risk of vertical transmission, though higher if coinfected with [[HIV]]<br />
** About half are transmitted antepartum and half intrapartum<br />
<br />
== Clinical Manifestations ==<br />
* Asymptomatic, usually for decades, before slowly progressive liver disease<br />
<br />
== Management ==<br />
* [[Hepatitis C virus#Management|Management in adults]]<br />
<br />
=== Perinatal Exposure ===<br />
* Not urgent, as it is a chronic illness that may not manifest for decades<br />
* Serology to be done at 12-18 months for diagnosis<br />
* If significant anxiety, can send HCV-PCR at 3 to 6 months<br />
** 25-30% will spontaneous clear it<br />
** Still need serology at 12-18 months, and repeat PCR around 18 months<br />
