In the United States, the most common types of viral hepatitis are Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, and Hepatitis C.

Usually the COPD patients are diminished. Some to the point that you barely hear lung sounds at all. CHF patients are usually the ones that sound wet (they need lasix IV when its that bad). They can have various sounds depending on how sick they are.Usually you will hear rhonci and rales.ales and crackles are the same, they mean it sounds wet and crackly. Rhonci sound like leather rubbing together. Pneumonia patients may have a smorgasborg of sounds. I have also heard pneumonia patients that lung sounds are pretty much clear, but the xray shows infiltrates.
