Description
Hepatitis Viruses of Man covers the advances and developments in the study of viral hepatitis. The book discusses the history, epidemiology, and clinical features of viral hepatitis; the nomenclature and morphology of hepatitis viruses and their antigens; and the pathology of the liver in acute viral hepatitis. The text also describes the biochemical and biophysical properties of hepatitis B surface antigen; the nature and immunopathogenesis of hepatitis B; and the laboratory tests for hepatitis B surface antigen and antibody and hepatitis B core antigen and antibody. The carrier state; maternal transmission of hepatitis B and neonatal infection; and Hepatitis B virus and primary liver cancer are also considered. The book further tackles the laboratory tests for hepatitis A and the nature of the virus; immunization against hepatitis; and interferon and antiviral therapy in chronic hepatitis B infection. Microbiologists, pathologists, and medical doctors will find the book useful.
