    Hepatitis is a disease caused by viruses that attack and inflame the liver. There are several types of hepatitis viruses. Hepatitis A is a mild type spread through contaminated food or water and causes jaundice, fatigue, and fever. It has an incubation period of 2 to 6 weeks. Patients should rest and take medications like paracetamol for symptoms. Hepatitis B is more dangerous and transmitted through blood, sexual contact, or from mother to baby. It causes fever, abdominal pain, and jaundice. Treatment includes antiviral drugs or injections. Hepatitis C is transmitted through blood contact and often has no symptoms, though some experience fatigue and abdominal pain. Treatment uses antiviral drugs to eliminate the virus.

    DEFINITION OF HEPATITIS
    Hepatitis is a disease caused by several
    types of viruses that attack and cause
    inflamation and damage to the cells of the
    human liver. Hepatitis is categorized into
    some
    types,
    such
    as
    hepatitis
    A,B,C,D,E,F, and G. however, here our
    discussion will focus on articles about
    Hepatitis A, B and C.

    HEPATITIS "A"
    Hepatitis is a mild type of hepatitis that
    rarely causes death. The hepatitis A virus
    (HAV = Hepatitis A Virus) spread trough
    the feces/faeces of patients and is
    transmitted through contaminated foods
    and drinks, not through sexual activity or
    blood.

    hepatitis A has an incubation period of 2 to


    6 weeks after infection occurs. it is after
    that period of time that patients show
    some signs and symptoms of hepatitis A.

    The Symptoms of Hepatitis A


    Within the first week, an individual who is
    infected will suffer from things like
    jaundiece, fatigue, fever loss of appetite,
    vomiting, dizziness and black urine. the
    fever an infected individual suffers from is
    a continuous fever, unlike other types of
    fever such as dengue fever, tuberculosis,
    thypus,etc.

    Handling and Treatment of


    Hepatitis A
    Patients who show symptoms of hepatitis
    A such as so-called jaundice, fatigue and
    so on within the first week must not do too
    many activities. The patients also need to
    immediately visit the nearest health care
    facility to get medications for the
    symptoms such as paracetamol for fever
    and headache.

    Hepatitis B
    Hepatitis B is one of the infectious
    diseases in the world that are classified as
    dangerous. The disease is caused by
    Hepatitis B Virus (HBV), a virus that
    attacks the liver and causes acute or
    chronic liver inflammation.

    Transmission can occur in various ways


    and the disease can be transmitted from a
    mother to her baby during childbirth, as
    well as through sexual intercourse, blood
    transfusion, syringes, and the use of
    personal hygiene tools (toothbrushes,
    towels) jointly.

    The symptoms of Hepatitis B


    Specifically, signs and symptoms of acute
    hepatitis B are fever, abdominal pain and
    jaundice (the appearance of yellow color
    especially on the sclera).

    Handling and Treatment of


    Hepatitis B
    Patients who presumably suffer from
    Hepatitis B need to take a blood test to get
    a confirmed diagnosis. Once it is
    confirmed that the patients suffer from
    Hepatitis B, oral treatment and treatment
    through injection will be given to the
    patients.

    Oral Treatments
    Treatment using a drug called Lamivudine
    from the analogue nucleoside category,
    which is widely known as 3TC.
    The use of a drug called Adefovir dipivoxil
    (Hepsera).
    The use of a drug called Baraclude
    (Entecavir).

    Treatment Through Injection


    A treatment through injection for Hepatitis
    B that can be used is the injection of
    Microsphere, which is something that
    contains a radioactive particle that can
    emit a -ray. The -ray can destroy cancer
    cells without damaging healthy tissues
    around them.

    Hepatitis C
    Hepatitis C is a liver disease caused by
    hepatitis C virus (HCV). The disease can
    be transmitted through blood contact
    {transfusions, needles (contaminated
    needles), insects that bite a patient and
    bite other people around the patient}.

    Symptoms of Hepatitis C
    Often times, those who suffer from
    Hepatitis C do not show symptoms despite
    the fact that infection has been occurring
    for many years. However there are some
    vague symptoms that may be visible
    including: tiredness, loss of appetite,
    abdominal pain, dark-colored urine and a
    disease called "jaundice" that cause the
    patients skin and eyes to turn yellow.
    Jaundice, however, is something that
    rarely occurs.

    Handling and Treatment of


    Hepatitis C
    Today, the treatment of hepatitis C is
    executed by giving drugs such as
    interferon alpha, Pegylated interferon
    alpha and Ribavirin to patients. The
    purpose of Hepatitis C treatment is to
    eliminate the virus from your body as early
    as possible to prevent deterioration and
    the final stage of liver disease.
