Hi, Hep C can cause decreased immune function which can render you vulnerable to infections as these. You should get your blood count(CBC) checked and HCV RNA also tested. Please see your Doctor who can check you and advice medications or antibiotics as deemed fit. Take care and feel free to ask any other queries you might be having.
