Viral Hepatitis

Other than the common cold, the most frequent infectious disease is viral hepatitis. This volume contains practical information on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of all the various forms of this disease, and has a clinical, rather than a molecular biological, orientation. Because of its logical structure, as well as the summary outlines of the best approach to each type of virus, this book should be useful as a primer and clinical reference for a broad range of physicians. It should also be valuable for the chief infectious disease specialist in hospitals, as well as specialists in liver disease, and medical personnel dealing with prison inmates.
