About this book

In the 1990’s significant advances in the understanding of viral hepatitis have been observed. In particular, our knowledge of the nature and diversity of viruses causing hepatitis in humans have substantially increased. "Virus Hepatitis” comprehensively and uniquely presents these valuable information all in a single volume for the utmost benefit of medical practitioners, microbiologists, as well as those actively involved in health administration world-wide. The virological, clinical epidemiological, diagnostic, therapeutic, and preventive aspects pertaining to all the types of hepatitis known to date including hepatitis C and E are thoroughly discussed.
