Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is an enveloped, positive-sense single-stranded RNA virus of the Flaviviridae family. Hepatitis C (HepC) or Non-A-, Non-B-Hepatitis, causes infection of the liver that is spread through the blood or body fluids. Using molecular mimicry, this virus is able to evade immune attack. Chronic Hepatitis C virus infection is known to induce autoimmune reactions and can be associated with extrahepatic manifestations including diabetes and thyroid autoimmune disorders.
