Description
Viral hepatitis is spread through contact with infected blood, bodily fluids, or faeces, though it may also result from alcohol and drug use or from other diseases. Acute hepatitis refers to the initial infection and can be mild or severe; chronic hepatitis refers to a serious condition in which the infection lasts six months or longer. Currently, vaccines are available for the prevention of hepatitis A and B viruses. This second edition delves into the history, causes, and current treatments for this disease, giving valuable information to student researchers.
