The first include common virus infections which causes mild hepatitis rarely in individuals with normal immunity but which may cause severe life-thereatening hepatitis in the increasing number of patients with depressed cell mediated immune responses. The second comprise exotic virus infections whicharepravalent in particular geograpical areas and which are prevalent in particular geographical areas and which frequently involve the liver with high mortality.

For each of these viruses the epidemiology, clinical feautures, diagnosis and treatment are briefly reviewed.
