What Are the Consequences of Hepatitis G Infection?
Hepatitis G can cause acute and chronic infections. The disease is usually mild, and the clinical significance of infection is uncertain. Persistent infection is usually not associated with serious injury to the liver, and the virus clearly seems to be less virulent (dangerous) than hepatitis C. Hepatitis G infection often occurs in association with hepatitis A, B, and C, or with HIV-conditions which pose a much greater risk for the patient.
