Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: In light of World Hepatitis Day on 28 July, Communicable releases its topical sixth episode a few days early, “Sneaky viruses”: an update on hepatitis B & C. Sharing the same date as the birthday of Nobel laureate Baruch “Barry” Blumberg, the physician and geneticist who discovered hepatitis B and later developed its diagnostic test and the first vaccine, World Hepatitis Day is dedicated to raising awareness about viral hepatitis. The theme this year is: “It's time for action” [1]. Hosts Angela Huttner and Oana Săndulescu welcome leading hepatitis expert, Professor Mojca Matičič of University Medical Centre Ljubljana and University of Ljubljana to refresh and update Communicable listeners on viral hepatitis.
