It is believed that all Americans born from 1945-1965 must get themselves tested for hepatitis C infection. It was told by the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) that with the help of this test, as much as 120,000 lives can be saved. With some 17,000 hepatitis C infections reported each year, it has become all the more imperative that some sort of drive is being launched so that the underlying concerns are being addressed.
It was in the year 1989 that the disease caught the attention of one and all and that’s what has caused the medical fraternity to come forward to warn people against the same. It is even worth noting that there are many who might not be aware that they are actually infected with the disease.
"The CDC views hepatitis C as an unrecognised health crisis for the country, and we believe the time is now for a bold response”, said Dr. John Ward, the CDC's hepatitis chief, while making it all the more clear that there is need to contain the crisis within limits before things go further worst.
It was found that the number of people dying from the same from 1999-2007 has almost doubled and that’s why the call for US baby boomers to get tested for hepatitis C is made loud and clear.
