Viral hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver caused by different viruses, primarily Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Hepatitis D, and Hepatitis E. Each type spreads in different ways, such as through contaminated food and water or through contact with infected blood. Symptoms can include fatigue, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), and abdominal pain. Preventing viral hepatitis often involves vaccination, practicing good hygiene, and avoiding risky behaviors like sharing needles. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial, as some types, like Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, can lead to serious liver damage if left untreated.
