Hepatitis

A Hepatitis A is a viral infection of the liver caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV). It is spread through contact with the feces, or stool, of an infected person or through contaminated food or water. Symptoms of hepatitis A include fever, weakness, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dark urine, and jaundice. If left untreated, it can cause serious and even life-threatening illness. Vaccines are available to help prevent the spread of infection and the illness it causes. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and maintaining nutrition and hydration.
