Hepatitis

inflammation of the liver, usually caused by bacterial or viral infection, drugs (including alcohol), toxins, or parasites. This disease is characterized by an enlarged liver, jaundice, diminished appetite, nausea, and abdominal pain. There are at least three forms of viral Hepatitis (Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, and non-A, non-B Hepatitis). 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. Radioimmunoassays and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays may be used to screen for Hepatitis.
