Current approaches to the diagnosis and management of viral hepatitis rely on understanding molecular virology. This book bridges the widening rift between clinical and molecular aspects of viral hepatitis by providing an up-to-date overview of the field. The focus is practical and covers the limitations of clinical diagnosis, the interpretation of tests based on molecular virology and immunology techniques, and the therapeutic options for managing patients with viral hepatitis. The book introduces general clinicians, trainees in internal medicine and scientists to the field.
