Provides an overview of viral hepatitis, enabling clinicians to manage and support their patients. This book is also useful for specialist nurses, counsellors, drug workers and other health professionals involved in the care of hepatitis carriers.
It is estimated that one in ten of the world's population is infected with hepatitis. Chronic hepatitis B and C are major aetiological factors in the development of end-stage liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma, leading to an increased burden of health care provision and transplant services throughout the world.



The prevention of infection by vaccination, improved health education and the treatment of chronic infection with anti-viral agents are all important issues in the management of this international health problem.



This book provides an overview of viral hepatitis, enabling clinicians to manage and support their patients. It will also be of great value to specialist nurses, counsellors, drug workers and other health professionals involved in the care of hepatitis carriers. It is, above all, a practical book written to make the information as accessible as possible to all its readers.
