Abstract:
More than 200 million people worldwide and 0.7 percent of the population in Hungary are infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). The consequent chronic viral hepatitis and its complications as well as the big population affected make HCV-infection an important medical issue. In addition to that the infection which is transmitted nowadays mainly by intravenous drug use and use of body jewelry, tattooing and sexual in some cases, and by blood transfusion in the past, raises several questions related to law as well. The authors give a short overview of the legal concerns of HCV infection highlighting some concrete juridical procedures in the present paper.
