Hepatitis C? Hepatatis C is a common misspelling of hepatitis C.

Hepatitis C is a preventable disease, as it is transmitted through infected blood (which can happen through sharing needles for tattoos, body piercings, or drugs). People with the chronic version of the disease end up having a long-term liver infection, which can lead to more and more liver damage over time. Many people infected with the hepatitis C virus have no symptoms even after many years, but some people may experience stomach pain, loss of appetite, or fever.
