Non-A, non-B hepatitis in the United States is caused by more than one viral agent... Studies have shown that parenterally transmitted(PT) non-A, non-B hepatitis accounts for 20-40% of acute viral hepatitis in the U.

Hepatitis D is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis D virus(HDV). HDV is known as a "satellite virus" because it can only infect people who are also infected by the hepatitis B virus(HBV).... People with hepatitis D can have more severe symptoms than those who are infected with HBV alone.... You can only get hepatitis D after coming into contact with the blood or body fluids of someone who is infected with HDV. 4, record 2, English, - hepatitis%20D

Hépatite B (hépatite d'inoculation).

[...] La maladie peut également être transmise dans le cadre familial; la transmission est favorisée par le degré de surpeuplement du logement et par des relations étroites entre les personnes. L'infection peut se transmettre par contact personnel étroit ou par l'échange d'objets tels que rasoirs, brosses à dents ou serviettes. Le virus de l'hépatite B ayant été décelé dans divers liquides organiques (salive, sperme, sécrétions vaginales), l'infection peut donc être transmise à l'occasion de rapports sexuels [...] ou de simples baisers. 4, record 3, French, - h%C3%A9patite%20B

Pegylated interferon... is a chemically modified form of the standard interferon that treats hepatitis C and rarely hepatitis B. The difference between interferon and peginterferon is the PEG, which stands for a molecule called polyethylene glycol. The PEG does nothing to fight the virus. But by attaching it to the interferon(which does fight the virus), the interferon will stay in the body(specifically the blood) much longer. 4, record 6, English, - PEGylated%20interferon

Multiplication à l'échelle cellulaire. La pénétration se fait par fusion-lyse ou par pinocytose. La capside est désagrégée dans le cytoplasme et l'ADN viral passe dans le noyau. Son expression aboutit à la synthèse successive de trois lots de protéines : les protéines très précoces (immediate early), codées par les gènes [alpha] et culminant 3 heures après infection; les protéines précoces (early, 6 heures après infection) codées par les gènes y. 1, record 13, French, - prot%C3%A9ine%20tr%C3%A8s%20pr%C3%A9coce
