Main Results:

  • Hepatitis A vaccination is recommended for chronic hepatitis patients.
  • Adefovir dipivoxil shows promise for lamivudine-resistant hepatitis B.
  • Interferon therapy exhibits antiviral, antifibrotic, and antineoplastic effects.
  • Lamivudine and hepatitis B immunoglobulin prevent post-transplant hepatitis B recurrence.
  • Hepatitis C recurrence post-transplant accelerates cirrhosis progression.

Conclusions:

  • Significant advances have been made in viral hepatitis management.
  • New therapeutic agents offer improved options for hepatitis B.
  • Effective strategies exist for preventing viral hepatitis recurrence after transplantation.
