Date of co-infection was the date when the second hepatitis virus was identified; if both HBV and HCV diagnoses were reported within 14 days, diagnoses were considered concurrent to account for laboratory testing and reporting delays.
Therefore it can be stated that the acute and chronic hepatitis virus does not cause disease, but rather seeks out an environment where it can thrive best and reproduced that is in oxygen-depleted bodies.
The age at which infection occurred, sex, chronic alcohol abuse and co-infection with other hepatitis virus are among the factors that influence the outcome, but scientific interest is also focussing more and more on genetic background.
