Hepatitis A and hepatitis B viruses and yellow fever virus are the most important causes of acute inflammation of the liver. Hepatitis is also frequently associated with other common viral infections such as cytomegalovirus (human herpesvirus 5) and EB virus (human herpesvirus 4). In addition, there are a number of viruses which occasionally display increased hepatotropism producing a clinical ...

Viral hepatitis includes five distinct disease entities, which are caused by at least five different viruses. Hepatitis A and hepatitis B (infectious and serum hepatitis, respectively) are considered separate diseases and both can be diagnosed by a specific serologic test. Hepatitis C and E comprise a third category, each a distinct type, with Hepatitis C parenterally transmitted, and hepatitis...

During pregnancy, mothers are at very high risk of getting infected with viruses, one the viruses is hepatitis B. Hepatitis B transmitted through horizontal and vertical ways. The knowledge deficit on pregnant toward caused a lot them to be virus. One solutions increase their attitude by giving health education audiovisual media. purpose study was know if there an impact media mothers’ in worki...

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) are the three most common chronic viral infections seen in the world. All three viruses share modes of transmission and hence co-exist in the same host at significantly high rates. HIV-induced immunosuppression has deleterious effects on the natural history, pathophysiology, diagnosis, therapeutic responses...

aim : this study was designed to evaluate the frequency of antibody against these viruses in individuals attending the endoscopy ward of taleghani hospital tehran, iran. background : blood-borne viruses such as hepatitis b and hepatitis c virus and htlv-1 virus are among the world’s public health problems. hepatitis viruses cause liver problems and htlv-1 infection can lead to adult t-cell lymp...

Resulting directly from the discovery of virus-related antigens, rapid progress has marked the last decade of viral hepatitis research. The hepatitis B virion has been tentatively identified as a DNA virus with an endogenous DNA polymerase, and new serological markers for type B hepatitis have been discovered. Hepatitis A antigen has been identified on a virus-like particle thought to be the he...

BACKGROUND Viral hepatitis with various forms of acute and chronic liver disease as potential and ultimately fatal sequelae presents a public health problem worldwide. METHODS Recent published reports on the global epidemiology and prophylaxis of viral hepatitis were reviewed. RESULTS With the advances in novel technologies, eight distinct types of hepatitis virus have been described: Hepat...
