Im englischen Abstract des Beitrags Kurzfassung der aktualisierten S3-Leitlinie Diagnostik und Therapie der Hepatitis B (Dtsch Med Wochenschr 2007;132:1775-1782) müssen die ersten Sätze wie folgt lauten:
Therapeutic options for hepatitis B virus infection have significantly improved in recent years. Moreover, new insights in the natural history of hepatitis B required an update of current national guidelines. Therefore, the German network of competence on viral hepatitis (Hep-Net) has revised guidelines on diagnosis and treatment of HBV infection in cooperation with the national societies for Gastroenterology, Pathology, Virology, and Pediatric Gastroenterology. Important alterations concern the indication for antiviral therapy considering an HBV viremia of 104 copies/ml (2000 IU/ml) as a critical level.
