title: [Serological markers in viral hepatitis].
abstract: The serologic responses in hepatitis A, B, C and D have been extensively studied and a wide range of sensitive and specific serologic assays are available for detection of the antigens and antibodies of these hepatitis. Today, the correct diagnosis, the evaluation of the patient, the replicative status of the virus, the discrimination between acute and chronic disease, and the response to drugs that affect the course of the hepatitis can be assessed by using serodiagnostic tests.
