Viral Hepatitis: past, present and future.
- Abstract:
The spread of viral hepatitis is the result of extensive and remarkable social changes that occurred in the last three decades of the twentieth century, especially in Western society. The emergence of viral hepatitis resulted in a significant reduction in quality of life and survival among those who contracted the infection. The impact of viral hepatitis varies with the different levels of socioeconomic development of populations and emerging factors in its transmission. Finally, important scientific and social advances have been achieved, but still insufficient to control these infections. The epidemiology of viral hepatitis in the XXI century reflects both the positive impact of preventive measures and the negative impact of historical and transmission emerging patterns. Viral hepatitis is a disease of two worlds, one where new infections are restricted to emerging patterns of transmission and treatment is available, another where both historical patterns and emerging new infections allow transmission and access to treatment is restricted.

- Abstract:
A disseminação das hepatites virais é consequência de amplas e marcantes mudanças que ocorreram nas últimas três décadas do século XX, especialmente na sociedade ocidental. A emergência das hepatites virais resultou em significativa redução da qualidade de vida e sobrevida entre aqueles que contraíram a infecção. O impacto das hepatites virais varia de acordo com os diferentes níveis de desenvolvimento socioeconômico das populações e de fatores emergentes na sua transmissão. Por fim, importantes avanços científicos e sociais foram otbtidos, mas ainda insuficientes para o controle dessas infecções. A epidemiologia das hepatites virais no Século XXI reflete tanto o impacto positivo de medidas de prevenção como o impacto negativo de padrões de transmissão históricos e emergentes. As hepatites virais são doenças de dois mundos: um, no qual as novas infecções restringem-se a padrões emergentes de transmissão e o tratamento é acessível; outro, no qual tanto padrões históricos como emergentes de transmissão possibilitam novas infecções e o tratamento é pouco acessível.
