BeSt programmi raames loodud sisupakett aitab iseseisvalt omandada teadmisi olulisemate hepatiidiviiruste morfoloogiast, resistentsusest keskkonnale, epidemioloogiast, patogeneesist, kliinilisest pildist, diagnostikast, ravist ja profülaktikast.
Seleenidefitsiidi korral võib organismi sattunud RNA-viirus (gripi-, leetri-, hepatiidiviirus) muutuda virulentsemaks ning põhjustada tõsisemaid tüsistusi.
The viruses that give rise to liver inflammation include cytomegalovirus; yellow-fever virus; Epstein-Barr virus; herpes simplex viruses; measles, mumps, and chickenpox viruses; and a number of hepatitis viruses. The term viral hepatitis, however, usually is applied only to those cases of liver disease caused by the hepatitis viruses.
There are seven known hepatitis viruses, which are labeled A, B, C, D, E, F, and G.
Medical applications include analyses to assess a person's state of health (e.g. cholesterol, pregnancy testing), to check for disease or congenital abnormality, to monitor treatment as it proceeds (for instance dose and effect of medicinal products) or to determine the safety and compatibility of donated organs or blood (e.g. testing for HIV or the hepatitis virus).
