AB Both  the  enterically  transmitted  forms  of  viral  hepatitis,  hepatitis  A  and  E,  are  self-limited  and  do  not  cause  chronic  hepatitis  (rare  reports  notwithstanding  in  which  acute  hepatitis  A  serves  as  a  trigger  for  the  onset  of  autoimmune  hepatitis  in  genetically  susceptible  patients  or  in  which  hepatitis  E  (Chap.  332)  can  cause  chronic  liver  disease  in  immunosuppressed  hosts,  for  example,  after  liver  transplantation).  In  contrast,  the  entire  clinicopathologic  spectrum  of  chronic  hepatitis  occurs  in  patients  with  chronic  viral  hepatitis  B  and  C  as  well  as  in  patients  with  chronic  hepatitis  D  superimposed  on  chronic  hepatitis  B.
