Abstract
This article presents a literature review on viral hepatitis in Brazil, focusing on hepatitis A, B, and C. The main prevention measures include vaccination, personal hygiene measures, and infection control in health services. The nurse plays an important role in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of viral hepatitis, through health education, vaccination, and early detection of the disease. The epidemiological profile shows a heterogeneous distribution for hepatitis A and a more homogeneous distribution for hepatitis B and C throughout the country.
