Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue titled ‘Current Status of Viral Hepatitis’ will provide a comprehensive overview of the ongoing advancements in the understanding, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of viral hepatitis. As the global burden of viral hepatitis remains significant, despite improvements in vaccine development and antiviral therapies, this Special Issue will explore the latest research and developments in this area. Topics will include novel antiviral treatments, different diagnosis methods including rapid diagnostic test, rapid molecular tests, dried blood spots etc., emerging hepatitis strains, public health strategies, and the impacts of social and socioeconomic factors on disease progression and outcomes. By compiling cutting-edge research, clinical perspectives, and epidemiological studies, this Special Issue will highlight both the progress made and the challenges that remain in the fight against viral hepatitis, offering insights into how the field can continue evolving to reduce global health disparities.
