Abstract

Viral hepatitis is surveyed as a European problem. The economic implications of including vaccines against hepatitis A and B in infant and adolescent immunisation programmes are discussed. The urgent need for vaccine against hepatitis C is stressed. Antiviral therapy for hepatitis B and C infections remains unsatisfactory. Costs of widespread implementation, particularly for hepatitis C, would be enormous and the selection of candidates for therapy is still under discussion. Increasing use of liver transplantation is prevented by donor shortage. Methods of artificial liver support must attract more research support.

生物技术和肝脏疾病。
病毒性肝炎被调查为一个欧洲问题。讨论了将甲型和乙型肝炎疫苗纳入婴儿和青少年免疫规划的经济影响。强调对丙型肝炎疫苗的迫切需要。乙型和丙型肝炎感染的抗病毒治疗仍然不令人满意。广泛实施的成本,特别是对于丙型肝炎,将是巨大的,选择候选治疗方案仍在讨论中。供体短缺阻碍了肝移植使用的增加。人工肝支持的方法必须吸引更多的研究支持。
