This guide was developed to provide the primary care physician with
essential practice information on viral hepatitis in a concise and useful
format. An American Medical Association advisory panel, representative of
all primary care specialty associations and nationally recognized experts,
conducted a systematic review of the medical literature and prepared this
physician guide with an emphasis on prevention, diagnosis, and management.
The guide also underwent extensive peer review. Practical information on
viral characteristics and epidemiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis,
management, and prevention is provided.
