| Summary: | The diagnosis & management of all forms of viral hepatitis relies increasingly on the application of molecular techniques for the detection of viruses & interpretation of their significance & limitations in clinical practice. This book bridges the gap between the clinical & molecular aspects of viral hepatitis. It provides a practical guide to the use & application of molecular virology in clinical practice & also the complementary scientific rationale behind managing & treating patients with viral hepatitis. Coverage includes: Epidemiology & molecular biology of hepatitis A, B, C, D & E viruses; Clinical aspects of viral hepatitis; Diagnostic approaches & limitations; Prevention & management of viral hepatitis; Acute liver failure; Organ transplantation; Viral hepatitis in pregnancy & pediatric practice; Viral hepatitis in the immunocompromised host with HIV infection & AIDS. Viral Hepatitis is written for newcomers to the field from healthcare & scientific backgrounds including medical students, residents & trainees in clinical research as well as research scientists in pharmaceutical & allied industries.
