Hepatitis

The history of hepatitis is a long one, with references to hepatitis-like symptoms showing up in 2000 BC. This well-written book explores all forms of hepatitis (A, B, C, and others), examining each and discussing symptoms specific to that form. The author discusses various epidemics as they occurred throughout the past century. Supplemented by statistics from the Centers for Disease Control, with chapters on research and treatment, Hepatitis offers easy-to-follow text and a variety of illustrations to help young readers visualize the nature of this sometimes-deadly disease.
