  • Virusni hepatitis: "stara" bolezen v novi preobleki = Viral hepatitis: an "ancient" disease, a new clothing
    Matičič, Mojca
    During the last decade the development of medical sciences has introduced manynovelties in the field of viral hepatitis: discovery of new hepatotropic viruses and refreshments of allready established ... issues. This review focuses on the most important ones. In 1989 the genome of hepatitis C virus was discovered, the major causative agent of parenterally transmitted non-A, non-Bhepatitis, chronic hepatitis and liver transplantation in adults. Diagnostic tests and treatment recommendations immediatelly followed the discovery. For decades well known hepatitis B has in developed countries become primarily a sexually transmitted disease and the disease of intravenousdrug abusers due to effective prevention programmes. Molecular based diagnostic tests and treatment with nucleoside analogues have been introduced. Viral mutants of signifficant epidemiologic, diagnostic and treatment importance were discovered. Hepatitis E, beefing endemic in tropic-subtropic countries has lately been more freequently reported in developed world, where the infection was less diagnosed. The review focuses onthe important issues concerning the infection. In 1995 hepatotropic hepatitis G virus was discovered which in majority of cases does not cause hepatitis. Since 1997 five presumably non-A-E viruses have been described but their roll in ethiology of viral hepatitis is yet to be discovered.
