Viral Hepatitis Clinical Care Program
Anyone can get viral hepatitis – from babies to adults and everyone in between. Viral hepatitis isn’t one disease but rather a series of infections that can cause liver damage and lead to life-long symptoms. The Viral Hepatitis Clinical Care Program provides compassionate and cutting-edge care for children and young adults with viral hepatitis.
The specialists in the Viral Hepatitis Program are experts in diagnosing, treating and preventing all types of viral hepatitis. When your child is diagnosed with viral hepatitis, you may be scared and worried about the future. Our team will help. While some forms of the disease only produce short-term problems of the liver, others cause long-term issues that require continued monitoring and additional treatment.
