Abstract :
Viral hepatitis is a global public health problem of epidemic proportions that caused 1.34 million deaths in 2015 a number comparable to deaths caused by tuberculosis and higher than those caused by HIV. Infection can be caused by the five known hepatitis viruses A, B, C, D and E HAV, HBV, HCV, HDV and HEV . Many of these infections are preventable. Hepatitis B and C are responsible for 96 of overall hepatitis mortality. In India, the estimated burden of hepatitis is very high, necessitating focus on prevention and control measures to mitigate morbidity and mortality arising out of hepatitis.
