Recent Developments in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Hepatitis: a Global Perspective
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Hepatitis, an inflammation of the liver primarily caused by viral infections, remains a major public health concern worldwide. This article reviews the current understanding of hepatitis types A to E, emphasizing their epidemiology, pathogenesis, and therapeutic approaches. We examine recent developments in diagnostic techniques, including molecular assays and imaging, as well as innovations in antiviral therapies. The introduction of direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) has significantly improved outcomes for hepatitis C patients. Global vaccination efforts have reduced the incidence of hepatitis B, though challenges remain in low-income countries. Despite progress, gaps persist in early diagnosis, access to treatment, and long-term disease monitoring. This review highlights key advancements and identifies areas where further research and investment are needed to control and eventually eliminate hepatitis as a global threat.
