Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Viral hepatitis infections continue to be a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and the elimination of these infections, as a significant public health issue, is a global target. Five distinct viruses—A to E—can cause viral hepatitis with different modes of transmission, variable disease course and severity and different prevalence rates among populations and regions.
Worldwide, hundreds of millions of people have chronic viral hepatitis infections, due to which nearly a million and a half people die each year. Hepatitis B and C can lead to chronic infections and serious liver diseases, and are responsible for the vast majority of viral hepatitis infections and deaths.
The burden caused by viral hepatitis remains high in several populations and is predicted to remain a significant public health problem in the near future. However, up-to-date studies estimating the burden of viral hepatitis from different perspectives, including epidemiology, diagnosis, pathogenesis, natural history, linkage to care, treatment and prevention, are important to assess the current state of viral hepatitis and progress in the prevention and control efforts at national, regional and global levels.
This Special Issue, the “Global Burden of Viral Hepatitis”, aims to assemble a novel collection of valuable resources for the medical and scientific community. Contributions in the form of original research, short communications and reviews are welcome.
