dc.descriptionThe social and sanitary changes that Chile is experiencing will change the epidemiologic profile of viral hepatitis. Virus A hepatitis will displace to older ages, and immunization plans with specific vaccines should be considered. The real prevalence of hepatitis B may be higher, due to an underreporting of the disease. The education and vaccination of high risk groups should be reinforced. E virus hepatitis requires more research in risk groups and in certain animal species consumed by humans. C virus hepatitis is the greatest challenge as it causes chronic liver disease and is the main cause for liver transplantation
