 AB    Over the last several years, much progress has been made in the
       treatment of adult patients with chronic viral hepatitis and compensated
       liver disease in the absence of significant other illnesses. However,
       the treatment of chronic viral hepatitis in other patient populations is
       still experimental. These groups include children, patients
       immunocompromised by human immunodeficiency virus infection or
       immunosuppression following organ transplantation, those with end-stage
       renal disease, and patients with extrahepatic manifestations of
       hepatitis viral infection. Data on the treatment of chronic hepatitis in
       these special populations are reviewed.
