title: [Mutants of the hepatitis virus].
abstract: The variability of genomes of the hepatitis viruses leads to the development of viral mutants which are of great importance not only for epidemiology and therapy but also for the prevention of infections they cause. Contemporary knowledge indicates that investigation of mutants of hepatitis viruses is not only necessary for the understanding of the epidemiology, spread, elucidation of the severity of the disease and sequelae after acute infection but also for our therapeutic possibilities in different forms of viral hepatitis (VH). The submitted paper reviews the most important mutants of different types of VH (HA, HB, HC, HD, and HE).
