Viral hepatitis has become a difficult field in which clinical and laboratory skills are needed to establish the correct diagnosis and plan for the appropriate therapy. For example, it is no longer enough to diagnose chronic hepatitis B or C. Now, the viral titer or viral genotype must be known. The laboratory test then must be understood in the context of the clinical presentation. This article helps the clinician to acquire such working knowledge. It summarizes available data for hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. It also includes the recently discovered viral agents, hepatitis G and the hepatitis GB agents.
病毒性肝炎已成为一个棘手的领域，需要临床和实验室技能来做出正确诊断并制定适当的治疗方案。例如，仅诊断出慢性乙型或丙型肝炎已不再足够。如今，必须了解病毒滴度或病毒基因型。然后，必须结合临床表现来理解实验室检查结果。本文帮助临床医生掌握此类实用知识。它总结了甲型、乙型、丙型、丁型和戊型肝炎的现有数据。还包括最近发现的病毒病原体，庚型肝炎病毒和GB肝炎病毒。
