5. HISTORY OF THIS
DAY
• In 1987, George Kuo, Michael Houghton and Qui-
Lim Choo used a novel molecular cloning approach
in collaboration with Daniel W. Bradley for
identifying the unknown organism and developing a
diagnostic test. A year later, in 1988, the virus was
confirmed by Harvey J. Alter by means of verifying
its presence in a panel of NANBH specimens.
• In 2001, FDA approved pegylated interferon, an
effective version of interferon. FDA approved a swift
antibody test dubbed Ora Quick in 2010.
• In 2013, FDA approved of two new better HCV
medications, namely Sofosbuvir and Simeprevir.

Hepatitis C Virus or HCV affects the liver. During the early phase,
there are mild to no symptoms of the contraction. As of 2015, about 2%
of the world population i.e. 143 million people are infected with the
HCV. there is no vaccine available for Hepatitis C. But In 2013, FDA
approved of two new better HCV medications, namely Sofosbuvir and
Simeprevir.
In order to treat HCV, antiviral medications, like sofosbuvir and
ribavirin, is used in line with Interferon. While antiviral medications
helps in curbing HCV replication, Interferon boosts the immune
system. Now there are many medicine available for hepatitis c virus.
