This text provides a comprehensive, state-of-the art review of
this field, and will serve as a valuable resource for students,
clinicians, and researchers with an interest in hepatitis
B. The book reviews new data about basic and translational
science including the viral life cycle, the immunopathogenesis of
virus induced chronic hepatitis, the mechanism of virus induced
liver cancer, and their potential applications for the clinical
management of patients. The clinical aspects of this chronic
viral infection are reviewed in detail with important
chapters on the global epidemiology, the natural history of the
disease, co-infections with its satellite virus HDV or HIV,
and management of special patient populations. A major
emphasis is made on the management of antiviral therapy and
the recent international guidelines for the treatment of
hepatitis B. Finally, the book reviews the current state of the
art regarding immunoprophylaxis to prevent the spread of the
virus and its major clinical consequences. The new advances and
perspectives in the development of improved antiviral
treatments are also discussed.
