Acute and chronic viral hepatitis infections are serious public
health threats around the world. The different infections have
different epidemiology and natural his- ries, and children play
important roles in each of these. For example, children are
important reservoirs for acute hepatitis A, childhood infections
are responsible for most of the global morbidity associated with
chronic hepatitis B, and perinatal transmission of hepatitis C
continues to occur, even as the overall incidence of new infections
wanes. Some non-A through E viral hepatitis infections are seen p-
dominantly in infants and young children, while others have
specific implications for this population. Therapeutic options for
children with chronic viral hepatitis are limited when compared to
those available for adults, especially for hepatitis B, and
considerations given to long-term therapy have dramatic
implications when dealing with the long life expectancy of these
young patients. With these issues in mind, this unique volume has
been created to address the special considerations regarding viral
hepatitis in children. It includes the latest information and
recommendations specifically directed at the pediatric population,
and highlights the knowledge gaps which will need to be filled to
improve our understanding of these infections and treatment of this
special group. Experienced practitioners from around the world have
contributed these reviews, incorporating the latest studies, the
current recommendations, and the distinctive pediatric issues that
shape clinical care, and will determine the research agenda for
this field going forward.
