Viral hepatitis
Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver caused by toxic substances or – in the majority of cases – by viruses. To date, five viruses have been identified that target the liver and cause inflammatory infection. These viruses are referred to by the letters A, B, C, D and E, and vary according to their transmission mode (fecal-oral for A and E, parenteral for B and C) and their aggressive profile.
