Chronic viral hepatitis is a global health threat and financial burden. Hepatitis B and C viruses (HBV and HCV) are the most common causes of chronic viral hepatitis in the United States. Most cases are asymptomatic before adulthood. Research has resulted in effective therapy for HCV and the promise of effective therapies for HBV. For HCV, therapy is pegylated interferon and ribavirin. Clinical trials with effective direct-acting antiviral agents are underway in pediatrics. For HBV, approved agents are alpha-interferon, lamivudine, adefovir, tenofovir, and entecavir. However, treatment seldom results in functional cure and more effective therapies are urgently needed.
慢性病毒性肝炎是一种全球性的健康威胁和经济负担。乙型和丙型肝炎病毒(HBV和HCV)是美国慢性病毒性肝炎最常见的病因。大多数病例在成年前没有症状。研究已经产生了针对HCV的有效疗法,并有望开发出针对HBV的有效疗法。对于HCV,治疗方法是聚乙二醇化干扰素和利巴韦林。有效的直接抗病毒药物的儿科临床试验正在进行中。对于HBV,已获批的药物有α干扰素、拉米夫定、阿德福韦、替诺福韦和恩替卡韦。然而,治疗很少能实现功能性治愈,因此迫切需要更有效的疗法。
