Summary

Optimal care of children with viral hepatitis necessitates incorporation of recent advances in diagnosis, prevention, and treatment into clinical practice. Although primary viral infection of the liver has been recognized since the time of Hippocrates (460–375 BC), only since the early 1990s have significant scientific advancements allowed clinicians to alter the outcomes of these infections.
