Abstract
The liver is the target of various viruses that can cause significant damage, impair function and potentially threaten a patient's life. While the "alphabetic" hepatitis viruses A, B, C, D, and E are well-characterized, and their impact on liver function well-documented, many emerging and re-emerging viruses, some of which are considered by the WHO to be potential pandemic threats, also infect the liver. In this review, we describe the current state of knowledge regarding liver infections caused by major non-alphabetic hepatotropic viruses and their effects on liver functions.
期刊介绍:
m/s offers high-quality review articles in French, covering all areas of biomedical and health research, in a monthly magazine format (10 issues / year). m/s is read by the whole French-speaking community, in France but also in Belgium, Switzerland, Canada, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia etc. m/s is not a primary publication, and thus will not consider unpublished data. Most articles are invited by the Editors, but spontaneous proposals are welcomed. Each issue combines news and views on the most recent scientific publications, as well as broadly accessible and updated review articles on a specific topic, and essays on science and society, history of science, public health, or reactions to published articles. Each year, m/s also publishes one or two thematic issues focused on a research topic of high interest. All review articles and essays are peer-reviewed.
