Michael Shumack of Chicago's Chicago Lawn recalls unknowingly living with hepatitis C after a 1970s blood transfusion. The Illinois Hepatitis C Coalition, with more than three dozen groups, urges testing amid an estimated 214000 Illinois residents with the virus. Health officials warn of long silent progression and emphasize screening for at risk groups and prevention to curb liver disease and death.
