A study guide for nurses, this work presents up-to-date, practical information on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of the diseases caused by the hepatitis viruses A through E. Adopting a clinical, rather than molecular biological approach, this work deals with each virus separately. It provides both a comprehensible introduction to the entire area, and guidelines on how best to manage a particular disease in a specific patient. An important new hepatitis A vaccine is discussed. Using a logical structure and providing summary outlines of the best approach to each type of virus, this work should be useful as a primer and clinical reference for a broad audience of physicians, including those in general practice, internal medicine and paediatrics. It should also be useful to Chief Infectious Diseases Control Officers which, by law, every hospital in the USA must have.
