Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Virology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Viral hepatitis has seen significant advancements in understanding and treatment over the last decade.
  • The emergence of new hepatitis viruses and evolving vaccination guidelines necessitate updated clinical knowledge.
  • Increased awareness of perinatal transmission risks highlights the importance of maternal and fetal health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the different types of viral hepatitis.
  • To outline the consequences of hepatitis infection for both mothers and their fetuses.
  • To provide an updated overview of hepatitis viruses, therapies, and transmission risks.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of viral hepatitis research.
  • Analysis of epidemiological data on hepatitis virus spread.
  • Synthesis of information on clinical outcomes and management strategies.

Main Results:

  • At least six distinct hepatitis viruses are now recognized.
  • Hepatitis A and E cause epidemic enteric infections with low risk of chronicity.
  • Hepatitis B, C, D, and G are transmitted via blood and are major causes of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer.

Conclusions:

  • Viral hepatitis encompasses diverse viruses with distinct transmission routes and clinical outcomes.
  • Hepatitis B, C, D, and G pose significant long-term health risks, including cancer.
  • Understanding these viruses and their transmission is crucial for preventing maternal and fetal complications.
