What is Hepatitis? |
| |
Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver. The word comes from a combination of two Greek words: "Hepatos-" ("liver"), and "-itis" ("inflammation").
Hepatitis is most commonly caused by one of three viruses:
the hepatitis A virus
the hepatitis B virus
the hepatitis C virus
Hepatitis A, also known as infectious hepatitis, is transmitted by contaminated food or water and personal contact, and is most often found in children or young adults. Hepatitis B, formerly called serum hepatitis, may be transmitted through contaminated blood or needles, as well as sexually, and has a longer incubation period than that of hepatitis A. Hepatitis B can result in chronic active hepatitis. Non-A, non-B hepatitis is also transmitted through blood and can cause severe liver damage.
