Produktbeschreibung
This book presents up-to-date, practically oriented information on major topics in chronic hepatitis C. The coverage encompasses epidemiology; diagnosis, including molecular methods; treatment and challenges; and the management of co-infections. Readers will find guidance on pretherapeutic evaluation with respect to disease severity and extrahepatic manifestations. Resistance to antiviral treatment and its management are discussed, and the nature of optimal follow-up is addressed in detail. Treatment of HCV/HIV co-infection is considered separately, and the approach in special patient populations is thoroughly examined. Chronic Hepatitis C will be of high value for general practitioners and specialists in gastroenterology, infectious diseases, and internal medicine. It will be international in scope in terms of both authorship and appeal.

Rezensionen
"The authors' wish is to synthesize as clearly as possible the recent advances in the clinical management of hepatitis C and provide clinicians with all the tools necessary to optimally care for hepatitis C patients. These are worthy objectives, and the book is needed. ... This book is better than most in the field because it is easier for nonspecialists to use." (Cezarina Mindru, Doody's Book Reviews, October 18, 2019)
