Molecular techniques have allowed the identification of new viruses in a number of patients with cryptogenic hepatitis. Whether they are clinically inapparent or true hepatitis agents remains unknown for some of them. Latest described viruses include GBV, TTV and SENV. However, based on the limited data available, they do not seem to be contenders for the new hepatitis virus title. However, researchers are looking for a role of these viruses in other chronic and acute human diseases. Only a careful evaluation of the data and the scientific concordance of all the evidence will resolve the question of whether they are only commensal viruses or pose a real pathogenic potential.
