Last Virion Standing - A Journey to, through and beyond hepatitis C. What follows is very much what it says on the tin. Hepatitis C is a dread condition, you don't want it! Hepatitis C can kill you. It's caused by hepatitis C virus. A single virus particle is called a virion, and a single virion can replicate. For that reason any treatment of hepatitis C has to take the infection down to the last virion standing, and then it has to take that one out too... Otherwise it will replicate and replicate and you will still be infected. In the following chapters, the nature and pervasiveness of hepatitis C is explained as is the development of treatments. The author's journey with the disease and through the rigours of treatment is described.
