Abstract

There are a lot of important issues related to viral hepatitis studies: molecular biology of viruses, laboratory diagnostics, epidemiology, treatment etc. However, there is a number of special textbooks and monographs on the subject. Considering this fact and rather fast progress in our understanding of the problem this book focuses on the important sections of the problem immune pathogenesis of parenterally transmitted viral hepatitis and some aspects of hepatitis diagnostics. Seven chapters were prepared by several groups of researchers to share information and results of studies with specialists working in the field and persons who are interested to learn about the viral hepatitis issue. The Nobel Prize Committee (the field of physiology and medicine, 2011) awarded Bruce A. Beutler and Jules A. Hoffmann for their discoveries concerning the activation of innate immunity whilst Ralph M. Steinman was awarded for his discovery of the dendritic cell and its role in adaptive immunity. We are proud to say that our book is in line with these discoveries, because 3 chapters cover the problems of innate and adaptive immune response in case of viral hepatitis.

Abstract

Continuous acquisition of new knowledge in Medicine is essential to ensure progression in diagnostics and therapeutics. In the last decade the discipline of Hepatology has achieved critical progress in the treatment of viral hepatitis. The present book has been realized by a team of experts daily facing clinical problems in the prevention and management of liver diseases and has been designed for a global readership to offer some practical tips to physicians who want update their level of practice in the field. Its a practical volume for daily reference but also an instrument for improving expertise in viral hepatology and discovering the unresolved issues. Management of HBV and HCV hepatitis in young and elderly, HEV hepatitis, evaluation of liver fibrosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, vaccine and prevention and patient education are some of the most important topics covered by the authors. In addition, an outstanding chapter on the skin involvement during viral hepatitis and the tools to manage them during triple therapy is included in the book.

Abstract

Hepatitis A and B viruses have infected nearly half the current world population; and as many as 500 million people are still infected with the hepatitis B or C virus today. Hepatitis B vaccination is effective but not universally adopted and no vaccine is available against hepatitis C. Treatment is prohibitively expensive for areas of high endemicity or prevalence and not universally effective.This important and timely book covers recent advances in understanding the molecular biology of hepatitis viruses. The advances have contributed new insights into the molecular mechanisms involved in re

Abstract

Le virus de l'hépatite C a été identifié par l'équipe de Michael Houghton en 1989. 2004 marque donc le quinzième anniversaire de cette découverte majeure pour la virologie et l'hépatologie. De nombreux progrès ont été accomplis en 15 ans. Une proportion importante des 500 000 malades français a été identifiée. Beaucoup de ces  malades ont pu être pris en charge, traités et, pour une part non négligeable, guéris. La France, grâce aux actives campagnes de dépistage menées par la Direction Générale de la Santé, est en tête pour le nombre de malades identifiés et traités. Pour optimiser la prise en charge de l'infection, un Comité Stratégique associé au Programme National Hépatites Virales vient d'être mis en place par le Ministère. Une recherche active est menée en parallèle : l'Inserm lance une action incitative et soutient des groupes de recherche établis et émergents; de nouvelles structures s'organisent à l'Agence Nationale de Recherches sur le Sida (ANRS), qui permettront de financer et d'animer la recherche clinique et fondamentale; l'Europe met en place un réseau d'excellence coordonné par l'Inserm et consacré à la résistance des virus des hépatites aux traitements antiviraux. Le quinzième anniversaire de l'identification du virus de l'hépatite C offrait une occasion idéale pour la publication d'un ouvrage de référence  sur l'hépatite C. Ce livre fait le point des connaissances après 15 ans, alors que les traitements actuels semblent avoir atteint le maximum de ce qu'ils pouvaient offrir et que de nouvelles approches thérapeutiques voient le jour. Souhaitons que les 15 prochaines années soient celles de l'éradication définitive du virus.

Abstract

Chronic viral hepatitis affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide, and each year millions more people become infected. In Chronic Viral Hepatitis, Second Edition, a panel of distinguished clinicians and clinical investigators build upon the first edition by comprehensively reviewing all the relevant new information regarding resistance, side effects, and therapies for chronic viral hepatitis. The text covers recent advances in the understanding of pathogenesis of viral hepatitis while discussing promising agents in development for its treatment. The authors devote special attention to reactivation of hepatitis B with chemotherapy and immunosuppression, herbal and non-traditional therapies, chronic viral hepatitis in the pediatric population, and immunology and immunotherapy of HCV and provide relative costs for all diagnostic and therapeutic options. Authoritative and up-to-date, Chronic Viral Hepatitis, Second Edition offers today's gastroenterologists, internists, hepatologists, and infectious disease specialists a practical guide to the recognition, diagnosis and treatment of chronic viral hepatitis from a multidisciplinary approach.
