The term VIRAL HEPATITIS is usually used to describe infections caused by agents whose primary tissue tropism is the liver.
To date, at least five hepatitis viruses have been recognized, and these have been named, Hepatitis A, B, C, D and E.
Acute hepatitis may also occur as part of the clinical course of a number of viral infections, including human cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, herpes simplex virus, yellow fever virus and rubella. Viral hepatitis can be classified according to mode of transmission to ENTERICALLY TRANSMITTED HEPATITIS: A and E and  PARENTERALLY TRANSMITTED HEPATITIS B , C, D and G . The present lecture will discuss the virological aspects of hepatotropic viruses. In addition, general laboratory methods for diagnosis of viral infections will be evaluated.
