Infectious Hepatitis

Infectious hepatitis is a contagious liver disease caused by the hepatitis virus. It can be spread through contact with infected blood, body fluids, or contaminated food and water. Symptoms can range from mild fatigue and fever to more severe symptoms such as jaundice, dark urine, abdominal pain, and loss of appetite. People can be vaccinated against the disease, and prompt treatment with antiviral medications can help reduce the duration and severity of symptoms. Infectious hepatitis can have significant long-term effects, leading to liver disease and liver failure in severe cases, so prompt diagnosis and treatment is essential.
