Hepatitis Virus

Hepatitis viruses are a group of infections that primarily affect the liver, causing inflammation and potentially leading to serious health issues. There are several types, most commonly Hepatitis A, B, and C. Hepatitis A is usually spread through contaminated food or water, while Hepatitis B and C are often transmitted through contact with infected blood or bodily fluids. Symptoms can include fatigue, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), and abdominal pain. Prevention varies by type, with vaccines available for Hepatitis A and B. Early detection and treatment are crucial for managing the disease effectively.
