Viral hepatitis is a common form of liver disease that affects roughly 1% to 2% of the United States population. It is caused by a diverse group of hepatotropic agents that lead to liver inflammation and cell death. Five hepatitis viruses have been well characterized: hepatitis A (HAV), B (HBV), C (HCV), D (HDV), and E (HEV). HAV, HBV, and HCV are the most frequent causes of viral hepatitis in the United States (Table 1). HDV infection is rare in the United States, except among HBV-infected individuals.
