Four hepatitis viruses causing liver disease have been identified over 25 years and are detectable through serological tests. This review covers virus transmission, persistence, and available diagnostic methods.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Virology
  • Clinical Laboratory Medicine

Background:

  • Hepatitis viruses are a significant global health concern.
  • Over the past 25 years, significant advancements have been made in identifying and understanding hepatitis viruses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the identification of four major hepatitis-causing viruses.
  • To discuss the routes of transmission and persistence of these viruses.
  • To summarize the current availability of serological tests for hepatitis diagnosis.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies published over a 25-year period.
  • Analysis of serological evaluation methods for hepatitis viruses.
  • Review of data on virus transmission and persistence.
