  • Virology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • For two decades, a blood-borne virus causing non-A, non-B hepatitis remained unidentified.
  • An estimated 170,000 cases of post-transfusion hepatitis in the U.S. were linked to this unknown agent.
  • Many cases of post-transfusion hepatitis progressed to chronic liver disease.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent advancements in understanding the newly identified hepatitis virus.
  • To discuss the implications of this discovery for dental practitioners.
  • To provide an update on the etiology and management of non-A, non-B hepatitis.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent scientific publications.
  • Analysis of epidemiological data on post-transfusion hepatitis.
