Abstract
The present article is concerned with issues of epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of various forms of hepatitis A (HA); it accounts for more than half of all acute viral hepatitis. It is emphasized that to date the HA is characterized by frequent outbreaks (both water and food), and involvement in the epidemic process of senior population. The clinical features are the possibility of a protracted course of HA and the formation (although rare) severe forms in patients with chronic hepatitis of different etiology with the development of cholestatic syndrome and/or cytolysis syndrome. Due to ongoing deterioration of epidemical situation and significant economic damage attributable to HA, timely diagnosis and the need for specific measures aimed at preventing the further spread of the infection play important role.
