🔬 What is Hepatitis A?

Hepatitis A is a contagious liver infection caused by the Hepatitis A Virus (HAV). It spreads primarily through ingestion of contaminated food and water or direct contact with an infected person. Unlike other types, Hepatitis A usually doesn’t lead to chronic liver disease, but it can still cause severe symptoms and temporary liver dysfunction.

🦠 How is Hepatitis A Spread?

1. Contaminated food or water: Especially in areas with poor sanitation.
2. Interpersonal contact:
   • Not washing hands after using the toilet.
   • Changing diapers of an infected baby without washing hands.
   • Sexual contact with an infected person.

🤒 Common Symptoms of Hepatitis A

• Fatigue
• Fever
• Nausea & vomiting
• Loss of appetite
• Abdominal pain (especially near the liver)
• Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice)
• Dark urine
• Pale stool

Symptoms may appear 2 to 6 weeks after exposure, and some infected individuals may not show any symptoms at all.

• HAV IgM Antibody Test (early detection)
