Hepatitis

The well-known symptom of hepatitis (inflammation of the liver) is jaundice. Hepatitis is still responsible for one and a half million deaths a year in the world, 500,000 of them due to hepatitis C. A new treatment, sofosbuvir, is used nowadays in the rich countries. But its very high cost puts it out of reach of the poorest countries... An episode of the series "Killer diseases".
