Viral Hepatitis

Viral hepatitis is an infection caused by a variety of different viruses, the most common being Hepatitis A, B, and C. It is characterized by inflammation and damage to the liver, leading to a broad range of symptoms ranging from mild flu-like symptoms to more severe complications such as jaundice, liver failure, and even death. In recent years, it has become a major public health concern, with millions of people worldwide affected by it. Vaccines are available to help prevent infection and appropriate treatment can help those who are already infected. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent serious long-term consequences, including liver cirrhosis and liver cancer.
