Abstract:
Hepatitis B and C virus infections are major global public health problem and economic burden. Most children with vertical infection have asymptomatic hepatitis, but the risk of chronic viral hepatitis and further development of liver cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma is higher. Over the past two to three decades, with the rapid development of detection technology and the continuous research and development of antiviral drugs, great progress has been made in the diagnosis and treatment of viral hepatitis caused by hepatitis B and C infection. However, due to the particularity of its characteristics, it is still necessary to carefully judge and evaluate the diagnosis and antiviral treatment of children. This article focuses on the difficulties in the diagnosis and treatment of viral hepatitis in children, and summarizes its progress.
