## Abstract Hepatitis A, a vaccine preventable disease, is now of transitional or intermediate endemicity in Argentina, as the epidemiologic pattern of the disease has shifted with improvements in living conditions in some parts of the country. Increase in the susceptibility of older children and a

## Abstract The prevalence of hepatitis C virus genotype 4 (HCV‐4) is increasing in different parts of the World but in Latin America the data are still scarce. We aimed to characterize HCV‐4 isolates from 383 HIV‐coinfected patients in Argentina. Sequence analyses were based on the non‐structural
## Abstract Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is one of the major causative agents of acute and chronic liver disease worldwide and is believed to be responsible for a million deaths annually. Eight genotypes of HBV, A to H, have been described on the basis of similarity of the complete genomes sequence. Alt
## Abstract Thirty‐three Argentinian patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV) were studied for viral genotyping. The patients included 10 hemophiliac and 4 polytransfused children and 19 adults: 3 polytransfused, 7 dialyzed and 9 sporadic cases. Core‐based genotyping permitted the classificat
The Hepatitis A virus (HAV) has been classified in seven different genotypes, which include human (I, II, III, and VII) and simian (IV, V, and VI) groups. The sequence analysis of HAV strains contributes to the molecular epidemiology of the virus. Although the infection with HAV is endemic in Argent
Three genotypes of HDV, which may be associated with different clinical pictures and epidemiological patterns, have been identified. In contrast to Type I and Type Ill HDV, both of which have multiple isolates, Type II HDV so far includes only a single isolate (Japan-1) from a low prevalence area (J
