Modern biology has allowed to detect a new hepatitis virus called G (HGV), joining an already important member of hepatitis viruses. Thus the share of viral hepatitis non A-non D decreases. The HGV belongs to the Flaviviridae and is similar to the HCV. Transmission occurs essentially by contaminated blood. There are still some open questions, particularly concerning the real pathogenic responsibility of the virus, which is far from clear considering latest publications. Further studies are necessary to precise epidemiologic data, ways of transmission, and pathogenic properties.
现代生物学已能够检测出一种名为G型肝炎病毒（HGV）的新型肝炎病毒，它加入了肝炎病毒中一个已颇为重要的成员行列。因此，非甲非丁型病毒性肝炎的占比有所下降。HGV属于黄病毒科，与丙型肝炎病毒（HCV）相似。其传播主要通过受污染的血液。仍存在一些未解决的问题，尤其是关于该病毒真正的致病责任，从最新的出版物来看这一点远未明确。需要进一步研究以明确流行病学数据、传播途径和致病特性。
