Features of the flow acute viral hepatitis in children

The etiological structure of viral hepatitis in most regions of the country remains poorly understood. Despite the fact that at least 7 nosological forms of viral hepatitis are currently known, such as hepatitis A, B, C, D, E, F and G, official registration of all forms is not carried out. Based on this, viral hepatitis occupies one of the leading places in infectious pathology and represents an urgent problem for public health. In recent years, highly sensitive methods for the specific diagnosis of hepatitis A, B, C, D and E have been developed and introduced into healthcare practice. The use of these methods makes it possible to study the etiological structure and breadth of the spread of hepatitis in specific areas, to determine the regions endemic for certain nosological forms, and to identify clinically undiagnosed variants of the course of infections.
