Synopsis

A number of viruses cause inflammation of the liver and some forms of the disease can be life-threatening. This book addresses the need for a definitive, up-to-date text on the pathology of viral hepatitis, and provides a summary of modern understanding of these diseases.



An international team of contributors has produced a comprehensive, highly illustrated account for pathologists, virologists and clinical hepatologists.



It covers not only the hepatotrophic viruses but also other viruses which damage the liver. Special attention is given to viral hepatitis in immunosuppressed individuals. The mechanisms whereby viruses damage the liver and the role in carcinogenesis are discussed in detail.
