title: Hepatitis viruses and the neonate.
abstract: Great progress has been made in the last 10 years in the understanding of the various types of viral hepatitis, and new viruses, concepts, therapies, preventive measures, and control strategies have been recognized. Even more agents, vaccines, and drugs will be discovered or developed in the future, and pediatricians increasingly will be expected to provide guidance to patients and to the community on the importance and use of these new tools.
