Hepatitis B and Hepatitis D Virus: Diagnosis, Treatment
Author(s): Dr. Reza Alobied*
Each hepatitis virus Hepatitis A, B, C, D, E, and G poses a distinct scenario to the patient
and clinician alike. Since the discovery of each virus, extensive knowledge regarding
epidemiology, virology properties, and the natural clinical and immunologic history
of acute and chronic infections has been generated. Basic discoveries about host
immunologic responses to acute and chronic viral infections, combined with virology
data, has led to vaccines to prevent Hepatitis A, B, and E and highly efficacious
antivirals for Hepatitis B and C. These therapeutic breakthroughs are transforming the
fields of herpetology, transplant medicine in general, and public and global health.
