Zusammenfassung

Bis heute sind 5 primär hepatotrope Hepatitisviren identifiziert: das Hepatitis-A Virus (HAV), das Hepatitis-B-Virus (HBV), das Hepatitis-C-Virus (HCV), das Hepatitis-D-Virus (HDV) und das Hepatitis-E-Virus (HEV). Weitere Non-A–E-Hepatitisviren (GBV-C, HGV, TTV, SENV u. a.) sind bisher nicht als Ursache einer akuten oder chronischen Lebererkrankung gesichert und spielen in der Praxis keine Rolle. Im Folgenden werden Klinik, Diagnostik, Therapie und Prävention der Hepatitis A–E zusammenfassend dargestellt werden.

Abstract

Five primary hepatotropic viruses have been identified to date: hepatitis A virus (HAV), hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV), hepatitis D (HDV) and hepatitis E (HEV). Other non-A–E hepatitis viruses, e.g. GBV-C, HGV, TTV and SENV have not yet been shown to cause hepatitis in humans and are therefore clinically irrelevant. This review summarizes our current knowledge on the diagnosis, prevention and therapy of hepatitis A–E.
