Hepatitis



Viral hepatitis is also known as jaundice, but this designation is not entirely correct. Jaundice is a term used to refer to yellowish skin, mucous membranes, and sclera. This is caused by a high concentration of a substance called bilirubin in the blood. However, it can also occur in other diseases such as blockage of the bile ducts, decay of blood cells and other liver diseases.
If we talk about viral hepatitis, then this is an infectious inflammation of the liver and may not always be accompanied by a symptom in the form of jaundice. In this disease, the liver is infected with hepatitis A, B, C, D, E, or G virus.
Individual viruses cause various serious liver diseases. But types D, E, and G practically do not exist in our area. They can appear here very rarely, especially in a person who has contracted them abroad.
However, types A, B, and C are relatively common, and therefore we will focus on them in this text. Different types of viruses also have different modes of transmission and course, so they will be described separately here.
Hepatitis type A
Viral hepatitis A is the most common and least severe type. It is a contagious and very unpleasant disease. If someone is diagnosed with this disease, they are required to be treated in a closed infectious diseases unit until they cease to be contagious.
This type of hepatitis occurs only in the acute phase and never becomes chronic. Hepatitis A is also sometimes called dirty hands disease, and this term is very appropriate. It is transmitted by the so-called fecal-oral route. Thus, the source of infection is often the stool of an infected person and, consequently, everything that has been infected.
No matter how disgusting it may sound, it is very easy to get infected in this way in everyday life. The time from infection to the appearance of the first symptoms (incubation period) is about thirty days.
Hepatitis type B
This type is transmitted through the blood and body fluids of an infected person. Infection most often occurs during unprotected sexual intercourse or injecting drug use. Transmission from mother to fetus is also possible.
Hepatitis B can progress from acute inflammation to a chronic stage, which is about 10%. The incubation period is about ninety days.
Hepatitis type C
Hepatitis type C is mainly transmitted through blood, but infection is also possible through body fluids. That is why it is often called the disease of drug addicts or homosexuals.
Very often, it becomes chronic, in about 70% of cases. The incubation period here is about sixty days.
This is a serious disease that is less talked about than HIV, but it still deserves the same attention.
