World Hepatitis Day: Prospects for the Future - Guest blog by Paul Klenerman and colleagues [6]
Submitted by Andrew Hyde on Tue, 2009-05-19 07:41.
"World Hepatitis Day...does not usually make the headlines in the same way that World AIDS day does, but viral hepatitis affects about half a billion people globally (perhaps 1 in 12 of the global population) and so the relative publicity associated with World Hepatitis Day does not accurately reflect the importance of hepatitis as a public-health problem.”
In this World Hepatitis Day blog ahead of the formal publication of their Perspective article in PLoS Medicine, Paul Klenerman, Vicki Fleming and Ellie Barnes of the University of Oxford describe research by Christian Drosten and colleagues [7] about a new low-cost diagnostic test for Hepatitis C for use in developing countries. The research was recently published in PLoS Medicine.
