Was hepatitis c once called non-a or non-b hepatitis?

Yes, hepatitis C was once referred to as non-A, non-B hepatitis. This designation was used before the virus was identified in the late 1980s, as it was recognized that some cases of hepatitis did not fit into the known categories of hepatitis A or B. The identification of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) in 1989 led to the use of its current name and a better understanding of the disease.
