This document discusses the differential diagnosis of viral and alcoholic hepatitis. It outlines the clinical manifestations, modes of transmission, diagnostic tests, and treatment approaches for different types of viral hepatitis (A, B, C, D, E) and alcoholic hepatitis. Key diagnostic tests for viral hepatitis include serological studies, antigen testing, PCR for viral DNA levels, and liver function tests. Treatment depends on the specific type and severity, and may include antiviral medications, lactulose, frozen plasma, steroids, or liver transplantation in cases of fulminant hepatitis.
