Abstract
Recent research has led to a greater understanding of the mechanisms and management of the various forms of viral hepatitis. The clinician can rapidly arrive at a precise diagnosis using serologic markers to complement epidemiologic data. In addition, effective immunoprophylaxis is possible; thus, disease spread can be minimized.
