Hepatitis <\/a>is a viral infection of the liver, resulting in liver dysfunction. Patients with hepatitis find that they start to experience symptoms of pain in the upper right side of the abdomen, along with symptoms of fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, and discomfort. If left untreated, hepatitis can cause yellowing of the skin and the whites of the eyes, in a condition known as “jaundice.” <\/p>\n\n\n\nThere are three types of hepatitis, namely; A, B, and C. Hepatitis A is the most common form of the infection, and it occurs due to unsanitary conditions. People infected with the virus may pass it to others through physical contact with body fluids. Homeless communities across America battle with outbreaks of hepatitis A since the unsanitary conditions provide an optimal environment for the spread of the pathogen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hepatitis B and C are less common, but they are a far more aggressive form of the disease. While Hepatitis A may pass through the body without medical intervention, doctors need to treat patients with HAV or HBV, with anti-viral drugs.
