Hepatitis-A

Hepatitis-A

Hepatitis A is a highly contagious liver infection caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV). It is spread through contact with contaminated food or water and can also be spread through close contact with someone who is already infected. Symptoms typically include fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, abdominal pain, and jaundice. Most people who are infected with HAV recover completely and do not have any long-term health problems. Hepatitis A is primarily spread through contact with objects, food or drinks that have been contaminated with the virus. Common sources of infection include contaminated water, food that has been prepared by someone with the virus, and contact with an infected person. People who are at an increased risk of infection include travelers to regions with high rates of hepatitis A, those who use injection drugs, and men who have sexual contact with other men. The most effective way to protect yourself from hepatitis A is to get vaccinated. The hepatitis A vaccine is recommended for all children at age 12 months, as well as for adults who are at an increased risk of infection. Good hand hygiene is also important in helping to prevent the spread of the virus. Hepatitis A can be treated with medications that can help reduce symptoms and shorten the duration of the illness. It is important to talk to your healthcare provider to find out what treatment is right for the patient.
