Abstract:
Viral hepatitis is associated with significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Hepatitis A and E viruses are enterally transmitted and lead to usually self-limited acute hepatitis. Hepatitis B, C and D viruses are transmitted by parenteral routes and can lead to chronic hepatitis with progression to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Here, we briefly review current understanding and new developments in the virology and epidemiology, diagnosis, natural history, therapy and prevention of viral hepatitis.
