Abstract
The six agents identified thus far that cause viral hepatitis are reviewed, and their impact upon pregnancy is described. Although it is the most common cause of jaundice during pregnancy, viral hepatitis does not generally increase the risk of pregnancy complications, nor is it teratogenic. Vertical transmission of some types of viral hepatitis does occur, however.Entities:
