The selected topics range from epidemiology, immunology, molecular virology and oncology, to clinical therapy.Chronic Hepatitis B and C consists of 14 chapters, each being a review of a special topic on HBV or HCV. While review articles on a special topic can be found in periodical journals, they tend to be more restricted in presentation. Therefore, this book will provide more in-depth coverage of what are presented as "unpublished results" and "data not Chronic diseasesHepatitis BPathophysiologyHepatitis CPathophysiologyHepatitis CTreatmentChronic diseases.Hepatitis BPathophysiology.Hepatitis CPathophysiology.Hepatitis CTreatment.616.3/623Shih Chiaho1496012MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789348703321Chronic hepatitis B and C3720425UNINA
