Hepatitis

<h2 id="signs-and-symptoms">Signs and symptoms</h2>

Hepatitis has a broad spectrum of presentations that range from a complete lack of symptoms to severe <a href="/facts/Liver_failure/AB5ocI30">liver failure</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:32" href="#fn:32">32</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:33" href="#fn:33">33</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:34" href="#fn:34">34</a> The acute form of hepatitis, generally caused by viral infection, is characterized by <a href="/facts/Constitutional_symptoms/BzP6MrTN">constitutional symptoms</a> that are typically self-limiting.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:35" href="#fn:35">35</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:36" href="#fn:36">36</a> Chronic hepatitis presents similarly, but can manifest <a href="/facts/Medical_sign/BzP6MrTN">signs</a> and symptoms specific to liver dysfunction with long-standing inflammation and damage to the organ.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:37" href="#fn:37">37</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:38" href="#fn:38">38</a>

<h3>Acute hepatitis</h3>
Acute viral hepatitis follows three distinct phases:

<ol><li>The initial <a href="/facts/Prodrome/nxm8D5mg">prodromal phase</a> (preceding symptoms) involves <a href="/facts/Non-specific/BzP6MrTN">non-specific</a> and <a href="/facts/Flu-like/4GsM3d6r">flu-like</a> symptoms common to many acute viral infections. These include <a href="/facts/Fatigue_(medical)/C2oo4Hvg">fatigue</a>, <a href="/facts/Nausea/dyhkcbeD">nausea</a>, <a href="/facts/Vomiting/R2vQkHqV">vomiting</a>, poor appetite, joint pain, and headaches.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:39" href="#fn:39">39</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:40" href="#fn:40">40</a> Fever, when present, is most common in cases of hepatitis A and E.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:41" href="#fn:41">41</a> Late in this phase, people can experience liver-specific symptoms, including <a href="/facts/Choluria/10xjnPko">choluria</a> (dark urine) and clay-colored stools.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:42" href="#fn:42">42</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:43" href="#fn:43">43</a></li>
<li><a href="/facts/Jaundice/TCyoLMJU">Yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes</a> follow the prodrome after about 1–2 weeks and can last for up to 4 weeks.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:44" href="#fn:44">44</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:45" href="#fn:45">45</a> The non-specific symptoms seen in the prodromal typically resolve by this time, but people will develop an <a href="/facts/Hepatomegaly/zbVkL3aX">enlarged liver</a> and right upper abdominal pain or discomfort.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:46" href="#fn:46">46</a> 10–20% of people will also experience an <a href="/facts/Splenomegaly/hkB1jTdo">enlarged spleen</a>, while some people will also experience a mild unintentional weight loss.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:47" href="#fn:47">47</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:48" href="#fn:48">48</a></li>
<li>The recovery phase is characterized by resolution of the clinical symptoms of hepatitis with persistent elevations in <a href="/facts/Liver_function_tests/IGuSa6Hn">liver lab values</a> and potentially a persistently enlarged liver.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:49" href="#fn:49">49</a> All cases of hepatitis A and E are expected to fully resolve after 1–2 months.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:50" href="#fn:50">50</a> Most hepatitis B cases are also self-limiting and will resolve in 3–4 months. Few cases of hepatitis C will resolve completely.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:51" href="#fn:51">51</a></li></ol>
Occasionally, however, acute hepatitis can cause <a href="/facts/Liver_failure/AB5ocI30">liver failure</a>. Liver failure can be life threatening and may lead to a <a href="/facts/Coma/N9oQ7g7R">coma</a> or even death.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:52" href="#fn:52">52</a>
Both <a href="/facts/Drug-induced_hepatitis/xbLcKPNG">drug-induced hepatitis</a> and <a href="/facts/Autoimmune_hepatitis/aU7dC4Lc">autoimmune hepatitis</a> can present very similarly to acute viral hepatitis, with slight variations in symptoms depending on the cause.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:53" href="#fn:53">53</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:54" href="#fn:54">54</a> Cases of drug-induced hepatitis can manifest with systemic signs of an allergic reaction including rash, fever, <a href="/facts/Serositis/XCTN1YrL">serositis</a> (inflammation of membranes lining certain organs), elevated <a href="/facts/Eosinophil_granulocyte/yhIKA8bE">eosinophils</a> (a type of white blood cell), and <a href="/facts/Bone_marrow_suppression/NEdoL9nj">suppression of bone marrow activity</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:55" href="#fn:55">55</a>

<h3>Fulminant hepatitis</h3>
Fulminant hepatitis, or massive hepatic <a href="/facts/Necrosis/zCPsTeWx">cell death</a>, is a rare and life-threatening complication of acute hepatitis that can occur in cases of hepatitis B, D, and E, in addition to drug-induced and autoimmune hepatitis.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:56" href="#fn:56">56</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:57" href="#fn:57">57</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:58" href="#fn:58">58</a> The complication more frequently occurs in instances of hepatitis B and D co-infection at a rate of 2–20% and in pregnant women with hepatitis E at rate of 15–20% of cases.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:59" href="#fn:59">59</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:60" href="#fn:60">60</a> In addition to the signs of acute hepatitis, people can also demonstrate signs of <a href="/facts/Coagulopathy/1qchdP31">coagulopathy</a> (abnormal coagulation studies with easy bruising and bleeding) and <a href="/facts/Encephalopathy/mbArdl2s">encephalopathy</a> (confusion, disorientation, and <a href="/facts/Somnolence/mIlFhyf0">sleepiness</a>).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:61" href="#fn:61">61</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:62" href="#fn:62">62</a> Mortality due to fulminant hepatitis is typically the result of various complications including <a href="/facts/Cerebral_edema/UDlqKHrV">cerebral edema</a>, <a href="/facts/Gastrointestinal_bleeding/ynYL5PXm">gastrointestinal bleeding</a>, <a href="/facts/Sepsis/n52bkffJ">sepsis</a>, <a href="/facts/Respiratory_failure/R3GcdkJ1">respiratory failure</a>, or <a href="/facts/Kidney_failure/gsqb5nos">kidney failure</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:63" href="#fn:63">63</a>

<h3>Chronic hepatitis</h3>
Acute cases of hepatitis are seen to be resolved well within a six-month period. When hepatitis is continued for more than six months it is termed chronic hepatitis.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:64" href="#fn:64">64</a> Chronic hepatitis is often asymptomatic early in its course and is detected only by liver laboratory studies for <a href="/facts/Screening_(medicine)/YhrXum3t">screening</a> purposes or to evaluate non-specific symptoms.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:65" href="#fn:65">65</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:66" href="#fn:66">66</a> As the inflammation progresses, patients can develop constitutional symptoms similar to acute hepatitis, including fatigue, nausea, vomiting, poor appetite, and joint pain.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:67" href="#fn:67">67</a> Jaundice can occur as well, but much later in the disease process and is typically a sign of advanced disease.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:68" href="#fn:68">68</a> Chronic hepatitis interferes with hormonal functions of the liver which can result in acne, <a href="/facts/Hirsutism/k8o1X8xP">hirsutism</a> (abnormal hair growth), and <a href="/facts/Amenorrhoea/axu8sS38">amenorrhea</a> (lack of menstrual period) in women.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:69" href="#fn:69">69</a> Extensive damage and scarring of the liver over time defines <a href="/facts/Cirrhosis/bkLuLvCD">cirrhosis</a>, a condition in which the liver's ability to function is permanently impeded.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:70" href="#fn:70">70</a> This results in jaundice, weight loss, coagulopathy, <a href="/facts/Ascites/sftkD7MA">ascites</a> (abdominal fluid collection), and <a href="/facts/Peripheral_edema/7vfC7USH">peripheral edema</a> (leg swelling).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:71" href="#fn:71">71</a> Cirrhosis can lead to other life-threatening complications such as <a href="/facts/Hepatic_encephalopathy/dk82G9cs">hepatic encephalopathy</a>, <a href="/facts/Esophageal_varices/z4o2PdbD">esophageal varices</a>, <a href="/facts/Hepatorenal_syndrome/L3oNQvJ2">hepatorenal syndrome</a>, and <a href="/facts/Hepatocellular_carcinoma/lE0P5CqE">liver cancer</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:72" href="#fn:72">72</a>

<h2 id="causes">Causes</h2>
Causes of hepatitis can be divided into the following major categories: infectious, metabolic, ischemic, autoimmune, genetic, and other. Infectious agents include viruses, bacteria, and parasites. Metabolic causes include prescription medications, toxins (most notably <a href="/facts/Alcoholic_liver_disease/m1PDff09">alcohol</a>), and <a href="/facts/Non-alcoholic_fatty_liver_disease/WoAmAUmV">non-alcoholic fatty liver disease</a>. <a href="/facts/Autoimmune_hepatitis/aU7dC4Lc">Autoimmune</a> and genetic causes of hepatitis involve genetic predispositions and tend to affect characteristic populations.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:73" href="#fn:73">73</a>

<h3>Infectious</h3>
<h4>Viral hepatitis</h4>
Main article: <a href="/facts/Viral_hepatitis/DjT90Yhf">Viral hepatitis</a>
<a href="/facts/Viral_hepatitis/DjT90Yhf">Viral hepatitis</a> is the most common type of hepatitis worldwide, especially in Asia and Africa.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:74" href="#fn:74">74</a> Viral hepatitis is caused by five different viruses (hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:75" href="#fn:75">75</a> <a href="/facts/Hepatitis_A/k0kw8Gq1">Hepatitis A</a> and <a href="/facts/Hepatitis_E/oxqCNDQH">hepatitis E</a> behave similarly: they are both transmitted by the <a href="/facts/Fecal%E2%80%93oral_route/oAl5TN9z">fecal–oral route</a>, are more common in developing countries, and are self-limiting illnesses that do not lead to chronic hepatitis.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:76" href="#fn:76">76</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:77" href="#fn:77">77</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:78" href="#fn:78">78</a>
<a href="/facts/Hepatitis_B/qqPTEY3p">Hepatitis B</a>, <a href="/facts/Hepatitis_C/kwb7IIht">hepatitis C</a>, and <a href="/facts/Hepatitis_D/FDjJkjnX">hepatitis D</a> are transmitted when blood or <a href="/facts/Mucous_membrane/oIw0vyel">mucous membranes</a> are exposed to infected blood and body fluids, such as semen and vaginal secretions.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:79" href="#fn:79">79</a> Viral particles have also been found in saliva and breastmilk. Kissing, sharing utensils, and breastfeeding do not lead to transmission unless these fluids are introduced into open sores or cuts.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:80" href="#fn:80">80</a> Many families who do not have safe drinking water or live in unhygienic homes have contracted hepatitis because saliva and blood droplets are often carried through the water and blood-borne illnesses spread quickly in unsanitary settings.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:81" href="#fn:81">81</a>
Hepatitis B and C can present either acutely or chronically.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:82" href="#fn:82">82</a> Hepatitis D is a defective virus that requires hepatitis B to replicate and is only found with hepatitis B co-infection.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:83" href="#fn:83">83</a> In adults, hepatitis B infection is most commonly self-limiting, with less than 5% progressing to chronic state, and 20 to 30% of those chronically infected developing cirrhosis or liver cancer.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:84" href="#fn:84">84</a> Infection in infants and children frequently leads to chronic infection.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:85" href="#fn:85">85</a>
Unlike hepatitis B, most cases of hepatitis C lead to chronic infection.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:86" href="#fn:86">86</a> Hepatitis C is the second most common cause of cirrhosis in the US (second to alcoholic hepatitis).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:87" href="#fn:87">87</a> In the 1970s and 1980s, blood transfusions were a major factor in spreading hepatitis C virus.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:88" href="#fn:88">88</a> Since widespread screening of blood products for hepatitis C began in 1992, the risk of acquiring hepatitis C from a blood transfusion has decreased from approximately 10% in the 1970s to 1 in 2 million currently.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:89" href="#fn:89">89</a>

<h4>Parasitic hepatitis</h4>

<a href="/facts/Parasites_of_humans/erYXeVvH">Parasites</a> can also infect the liver and activate the immune response, resulting in symptoms of acute hepatitis with increased serum <a href="/facts/Immunoglobulin_E/76uGAl7k">IgE</a> (though chronic hepatitis is possible with chronic infections).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:90" href="#fn:90">90</a> Of the <a href="/facts/Protozoa/JczTf25H">protozoans</a>, <a href="/facts/Trypanosoma_cruzi/T9N2Bojt">Trypanosoma cruzi</a>, <a href="/facts/Leishmaniasis/L5v8Thy1">Leishmania</a> species, and the <a href="/facts/Malaria/rN3g58CX">malaria</a>-causing <a href="/facts/Plasmodium/Je91qK4F">Plasmodium</a> species all can cause liver inflammation.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:91" href="#fn:91">91</a> Another protozoan, <a href="/facts/Entamoeba_histolytica/lMPf2xDp">Entamoeba histolytica</a>, causes hepatitis with distinct liver abscesses.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:92" href="#fn:92">92</a>

<h4>Bacterial hepatitis</h4>
Bacterial infection of the liver commonly results in <a href="/facts/Pyogenic_liver_abscess/em6QMVPI">pyogenic liver abscesses</a>, acute hepatitis, or <a href="/facts/Granuloma/mqEhHfjS">granulomatous</a> (or chronic) liver disease.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:95" href="#fn:95">95</a> Pyogenic abscesses commonly involve <a href="/facts/Enteric/nK2zwqBS">enteric</a> bacteria such as <a href="/facts/Escherichia_coli/nR4Gvl56">Escherichia coli</a> and <a href="/facts/Klebsiella_pneumoniae/edtyTP4E">Klebsiella pneumoniae</a> and are composed of multiple bacteria up to 50% of the time.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:96" href="#fn:96">96</a> Acute hepatitis is caused by <a href="/facts/Neisseria_meningitidis/u4SqwHuc">Neisseria meningitidis</a>, <a href="/facts/Neisseria_gonorrhoeae/2oq5rccN">Neisseria gonorrhoeae</a>, <a href="/facts/Bartonella_henselae/HSKMLu9j">Bartonella henselae</a>, <a href="/facts/Borrelia_burgdorferi/sSvh5CyA">Borrelia burgdorferi</a>, <a href="/facts/Salmonella/2SkCRybG">salmonella</a> species, <a href="/facts/Brucella/erCr0WsS">brucella</a> species and <a href="/facts/Campylobacter/lFSkgKUp">campylobacter</a> species.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:97" href="#fn:97">97</a> Chronic or granulomatous hepatitis is seen with infection from <a href="/facts/Mycobacterium/mLn82Axu">mycobacteria</a> species, <a href="/facts/Tropheryma_whipplei/aETJYe6E">Tropheryma whipplei</a>, <a href="/facts/Treponema_pallidum/33nBmQTg">Treponema pallidum</a>, <a href="/facts/Coxiella_burnetii/XvNfSTkg">Coxiella burnetii</a>, and <a href="/facts/Rickettsia/87baaTxT">rickettsia</a> species.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:98" href="#fn:98">98</a>

Autoimmune hepatitis is a chronic disease caused by an abnormal immune response against liver cells.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:129" href="#fn:129">129</a> The disease is thought to have a genetic predisposition as it is associated with certain <a href="/facts/Human_leukocyte_antigen/6QRXe5QI">human leukocyte antigens</a> involved in the immune response.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:130" href="#fn:130">130</a> As in other autoimmune diseases, circulating <a href="/facts/Autoantibody/gkMT0XyQ">auto-antibodies</a> may be present and are helpful in diagnosis.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:131" href="#fn:131">131</a> Auto-antibodies found in patients with autoimmune hepatitis include the <a href="/facts/Sensitivity_and_specificity/pzc9qfdz">sensitive but less specific</a> <a href="/facts/Anti-nuclear_antibody/rKxKt85z">anti-nuclear antibody (ANA)</a>, smooth muscle antibody (SMA), and <a href="/facts/Anti-neutrophil_cytoplasmic_antibody/DQLTVoNQ">atypical perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (p-ANCA)</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:132" href="#fn:132">132</a> Other autoantibodies that are less common but more specific to autoimmune hepatitis are the antibodies against liver kidney microsome 1 (LKM1) and soluble liver antigen (SLA).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:133" href="#fn:133">133</a> Autoimmune hepatitis can also be triggered by drugs (such as <a href="/facts/Nitrofurantoin/AQv42cqM">nitrofurantoin</a>, <a href="/facts/Hydralazine/JTUjPHpU">hydralazine</a>, and <a href="/facts/Methyldopa/E1064Sgy">methyldopa</a>), after liver transplant, or by viruses (such as hepatitis A, <a href="/facts/Epstein%E2%80%93Barr_virus/Uv8f1PNd">Epstein-Barr virus</a>, or <a href="/facts/Measles/tepQCUIG">measles</a>).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:134" href="#fn:134">134</a>
Autoimmune hepatitis can present anywhere within the spectrum from asymptomatic to acute or chronic hepatitis to fulminant liver failure.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:135" href="#fn:135">135</a> Patients are asymptomatic 25–34% of the time, and the diagnosis is suspected on the basis of abnormal liver function tests.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:136" href="#fn:136">136</a> Some studies show between 25% and 75% of cases present with signs and symptoms of acute hepatitis.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:137" href="#fn:137">137</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:138" href="#fn:138">138</a> As with other autoimmune diseases, autoimmune hepatitis usually affects young females (though it can affect patients of either sex of any age), and patients can exhibit classic signs and symptoms of autoimmunity such as fatigue, anemia, anorexia, <a href="/facts/Amenorrhoea/axu8sS38">amenorrhea</a>, acne, arthritis, <a href="/facts/Pleurisy/JEHqK0wu">pleurisy</a>, <a href="/facts/Thyroiditis/v0l6m7sQ">thyroiditis</a>, <a href="/facts/Ulcerative_colitis/BIkyFzRj">ulcerative colitis</a>, <a href="/facts/Nephritis/RTgWF0bA">nephritis</a>, and <a href="/facts/Maculopapular_rash/YAIQGkbB">maculopapular rash</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:139" href="#fn:139">139</a> Autoimmune hepatitis increases the risk for cirrhosis, and the risk for liver cancer is increased by about 1% for each year of the disease.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:140" href="#fn:140">140</a>
Many people with autoimmune hepatitis have other <a href="/facts/Autoimmune_disease/sojBeQ7t">autoimmune diseases</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:141" href="#fn:141">141</a> Autoimmune hepatitis is distinct from the other autoimmune diseases of the liver, <a href="/facts/Primary_biliary_cirrhosis/9X0f10mz">primary biliary cirrhosis</a> and <a href="/facts/Primary_sclerosing_cholangitis/bI0YIfhV">primary sclerosing cholangitis</a>, both of which can also lead to scarring, fibrosis, and cirrhosis of the liver.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:142" href="#fn:142">142</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:143" href="#fn:143">143</a>

<h3>Genetic</h3>
Genetic causes of hepatitis include <a href="/facts/Alpha_1-antitrypsin_deficiency/p7I2rWXr">alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency</a>, <a href="/facts/HFE_hereditary_haemochromatosis/pFV8HJ3V">hemochromatosis</a>, and <a href="/facts/Wilson%27s_disease/Ktq8N2Uk">Wilson's disease</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:144" href="#fn:144">144</a> In alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency, a <a href="/facts/Co-dominant_expression/DsvtPyQU">co-dominant</a> mutation in the gene for alpha-1-antitrypsin results in the abnormal accumulation of the mutant AAT protein within liver cells, leading to liver disease.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:145" href="#fn:145">145</a> Hemochromatosis and Wilson's disease are both <a href="/facts/Autosomal_recessive/DsvtPyQU">autosomal recessive</a> diseases involving abnormal storage of minerals.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:146" href="#fn:146">146</a> In hemochromatosis, excess amounts of iron accumulate in multiple body sites, including the liver, which can lead to cirrhosis.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:147" href="#fn:147">147</a> In Wilson's disease, excess amounts of copper accumulate in the liver and brain, causing cirrhosis and dementia.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:148" href="#fn:148">148</a>
When the liver is involved, alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency and Wilson's disease tend to present as hepatitis in the neonatal period or in childhood.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:149" href="#fn:149">149</a> Hemochromatosis typically presents in adulthood, with the onset of clinical disease usually after age 50.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:150" href="#fn:150">150</a>

<h3>Ischemic hepatitis</h3>
Main article: <a href="/facts/Ischemic_hepatitis/60qJuyL7">Ischemic hepatitis</a>
<a href="/facts/Ischemic_hepatitis/60qJuyL7">Ischemic hepatitis</a> (also known as shock liver) results from reduced blood flow to the liver as in shock, heart failure, or vascular insufficiency.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:151" href="#fn:151">151</a> The condition is most often associated with <a href="/facts/Heart_failure/7fckX3Jm">heart failure</a> but can also be caused by <a href="/facts/Shock_(circulatory)/aIKGDS0e">shock</a> or <a href="/facts/Sepsis/n52bkffJ">sepsis</a>. <a href="/facts/Blood_testing/zevsf3rC">Blood testing</a> of a person with ischemic hepatitis will show very high levels of <a href="/facts/Elevated_transaminases/WLS4kysN">transaminase enzymes</a> (<a href="/facts/Aspartate_transaminase/ksTwpdqx">AST</a> and <a href="/facts/Alanine_transaminase/PAUfv2UK">ALT</a>). The condition usually resolves if the underlying cause is treated successfully. Ischemic hepatitis rarely causes permanent liver damage.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:152" href="#fn:152">152</a>

<h3>Other</h3>
Main article: <a href="/facts/Neonatal_hepatitis/Pq7eGqfX">Neonatal hepatitis</a>
Hepatitis can also occur in neonates and is attributable to a variety of causes, some of which are not typically seen in adults.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:153" href="#fn:153">153</a> Congenital or perinatal infection with the hepatitis viruses, <a href="/facts/Toxoplasma_gondii/LzFxHk0j">toxoplasma</a>, <a href="/facts/Rubella/GaCHuPtc">rubella</a>, <a href="/facts/Cytomegalovirus/gtxdYP8S">cytomegalovirus</a>, and <a href="/facts/Syphilis/fdnGLyLT">syphilis</a> can cause neonatal hepatitis.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:154" href="#fn:154">154</a> Structural abnormalities such as <a href="/facts/Biliary_atresia/gdTQvuFe">biliary atresia</a> and <a href="/facts/Choledochal_cysts/q0qaRKuo">choledochal cysts</a> can lead to <a href="/facts/Cholestasis/3T1pe8NE">cholestatic liver injury</a> leading to neonatal hepatitis.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:155" href="#fn:155">155</a> <a href="/facts/Inborn_error_of_metabolism/3oR89Mjj">Metabolic diseases</a> such as <a href="/facts/Glycogen_storage_disease/7SGTIKcp">glycogen storage disorders</a> and <a href="/facts/Lysosomal_storage_disease/52yz22rF">lysosomal storage disorders</a> are also implicated.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:156" href="#fn:156">156</a> Neonatal hepatitis can be <a href="/facts/Idiopathy/YIVAonwA">idiopathic</a>, and in such cases, biopsy often shows large multinucleated cells in the liver tissue.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:157" href="#fn:157">157</a> This disease is termed giant cell hepatitis and may be associated with viral infection, autoimmune disorders, and drug toxicity.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:158" href="#fn:158">158</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:159" href="#fn:159">159</a>

<h2 id="mechanism">Mechanism</h2>
The specific mechanism varies and depends on the underlying cause of the hepatitis. Generally, there is an initial insult that causes liver injury and activation of an inflammatory response, which can become chronic, leading to progressive <a href="/facts/Fibrosis/VVSmVgr3">fibrosis</a> and <a href="/facts/Cirrhosis/bkLuLvCD">cirrhosis</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:160" href="#fn:160">160</a>

<h3>Viral hepatitis</h3>

The pathway by which hepatic viruses cause <a href="/facts/Viral_hepatitis/DjT90Yhf">viral hepatitis</a> is best understood in the case of hepatitis B and C.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:161" href="#fn:161">161</a> The viruses do not directly activate <a href="/facts/Apoptosis/8dVzSm4y">apoptosis</a> (cell death).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:162" href="#fn:162">162</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:163" href="#fn:163">163</a> Rather, infection of liver cells activates the <a href="/facts/Innate_immune_system/lz4BpSQI">innate</a> and <a href="/facts/Adaptive_immune_system/bc7zT1Jo">adaptive</a> arms of the <a href="/facts/Immune_system/HRCTf1pb">immune system</a> leading to an inflammatory response which causes cellular damage and death, including viral-induced apoptosis via the induction of the death receptor-mediated signaling pathway.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:164" href="#fn:164">164</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:165" href="#fn:165">165</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:166" href="#fn:166">166</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:167" href="#fn:167">167</a> Depending on the strength of the immune response, the types of immune cells involved and the ability of the virus to evade the body's defense, infection can either lead to clearance (acute disease) or persistence (chronic disease) of the virus.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:168" href="#fn:168">168</a> The chronic presence of the virus within liver cells results in multiple waves of <a href="/facts/Inflammation/Ura86MIy">inflammation</a>, injury and <a href="/facts/Wound_healing/3NlzV5Qn">wound healing</a> that over time lead to scarring or <a href="/facts/Fibrosis/VVSmVgr3">fibrosis</a> and culminate in <a href="/facts/Hepatocellular_carcinoma/lE0P5CqE">hepatocellular carcinoma</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:169" href="#fn:169">169</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:170" href="#fn:170">170</a> People with impaired immune response are at greater risk of developing chronic infection.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:171" href="#fn:171">171</a> <a href="/facts/Natural_killer_cell/A3THWxrJ">Natural killer cells</a> are the primary drivers of the initial innate response and create a <a href="/facts/Cytokine/SdWpWABH">cytokine</a> environment that results in the recruitment of <a href="/facts/T_helper_cell/nhwAYkDj">CD4 T-helper</a> and <a href="/facts/Cytotoxic_T_cell/e5eRg3XJ">CD8 cytotoxic T-cells</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:172" href="#fn:172">172</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:173" href="#fn:173">173</a> <a href="/facts/Interferon_type_I/jQhMAFA3">Type I interferons</a> are the cytokines that drive the antiviral response.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:174" href="#fn:174">174</a> In chronic Hepatitis B and C, natural killer cell function is impaired.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:175" href="#fn:175">175</a>

<h3>Steatohepatitis</h3>
<a href="/facts/Steatohepatitis/AB657ut0">Steatohepatitis</a> is seen in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic liver disease and is the culmination of a cascade of events that began with injury. In the case of <a href="/facts/Non-alcoholic_fatty_liver_disease/WoAmAUmV">non-alcoholic steatohepatitis</a>, this cascade is initiated by changes in metabolism associated with obesity, insulin resistance, and lipid dysregulation.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:176" href="#fn:176">176</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:177" href="#fn:177">177</a> In <a href="/facts/Alcoholic_hepatitis/HJQqBzsx">alcoholic hepatitis</a>, chronic excess alcohol use is the culprit.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:178" href="#fn:178">178</a> Though the inciting event may differ, the progression of events is similar and begins with accumulation of free <a href="/facts/Fatty_acid/JGg3erIu">fatty acids</a> (FFA) and their breakdown products in the liver cells in a process called <a href="/facts/Steatosis/kS1DX4Py">steatosis</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:179" href="#fn:179">179</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:180" href="#fn:180">180</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:181" href="#fn:181">181</a> This initially reversible process overwhelms the <a href="/facts/Hepatocyte/USpvDz1n">hepatocyte</a>'s ability to maintain lipid homeostasis leading to a toxic effect as fat molecules accumulate and are broken down in the setting of an <a href="/facts/Cellular_stress_response/cJodtRUo">oxidative stress response</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:182" href="#fn:182">182</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:183" href="#fn:183">183</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:184" href="#fn:184">184</a> Over time, this abnormal lipid deposition triggers the <a href="/facts/Immune_system/HRCTf1pb">immune system</a> via <a href="/facts/Toll-like_receptor/hj4qIWP8">toll-like receptor 4</a> (TLR4) resulting in the production of inflammatory <a href="/facts/Cytokine/SdWpWABH">cytokines</a> such as TNF that cause liver cell injury and death.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:185" href="#fn:185">185</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:186" href="#fn:186">186</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:187" href="#fn:187">187</a> These events mark the transition to <a href="/facts/Steatohepatitis/AB657ut0">steatohepatitis</a> and in the setting of chronic injury, <a href="/facts/Fibrosis/VVSmVgr3">fibrosis</a> eventually develops setting up events that lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:188" href="#fn:188">188</a> Microscopically, changes that can be seen include steatosis with large and swollen hepatocytes (<a href="/facts/Ballooning_degeneration/o4YhlYAu">ballooning</a>), evidence of cellular injury and cell death (apoptosis, necrosis), evidence of inflammation in particular in <a href="/facts/Liver/Rtp4Fk2b">zone 3 of the liver</a>, variable degrees of fibrosis and <a href="/facts/Mallory_body/n1jTujIT">Mallory bodies</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:189" href="#fn:189">189</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:190" href="#fn:190">190</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:191" href="#fn:191">191</a>

<h3>Viral hepatitis</h3>
Main article: <a href="/facts/Viral_hepatitis/DjT90Yhf">Viral hepatitis</a>
Viral hepatitis is primarily diagnosed through blood tests for levels of viral <a href="/facts/Antigen/9JlAernG">antigens</a> (such as the <a href="/facts/HBsAg/PBxJ0fve">hepatitis B surface</a> or <a href="/facts/HBcAg/6oFbzWVf">core</a> antigen), anti-viral antibodies (such as the anti-hepatitis B surface antibody or anti-hepatitis A antibody), or viral DNA/RNA.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:208" href="#fn:208">208</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:209" href="#fn:209">209</a> In early infection (i.e. within 1 week), <a href="/facts/Immunoglobulin_M/23PjpgIQ">IgM</a> antibodies are found in the blood.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:210" href="#fn:210">210</a> In late infection and after recovery, <a href="/facts/Immunoglobulin_G/cKzc83tk">IgG</a> antibodies are present and remain in the body for up to years.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:211" href="#fn:211">211</a> Therefore, when a patient is positive for IgG antibody but negative for IgM antibody, he is considered <a href="/facts/Immunity_(medical)/vLPpzSNL">immune</a> from the virus via either prior infection and recovery or prior vaccination.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:212" href="#fn:212">212</a>
In the case of hepatitis B, blood tests exist for multiple virus antigens (which are different components of the virion particle) and antibodies.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:213" href="#fn:213">213</a> The combination of antigen and antibody positivity can provide information about the stage of infection (acute or chronic), the degree of viral replication, and the infectivity of the virus.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:214" href="#fn:214">214</a>

<h3>Alcoholic versus non-alcoholic</h3>
The most apparent distinguishing factor between <a href="/facts/Alcoholic_hepatitis/HJQqBzsx">alcoholic steatohepatitis</a> (ASH) and <a href="/facts/Nonalcoholic_Steatohepatitis/WoAmAUmV">nonalcoholic steatohepatitis</a> (NASH) is a history of excessive alcohol use.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:215" href="#fn:215">215</a> Thus, in patients who have no or negligible alcohol use, the diagnosis is unlikely to be alcoholic hepatitis. In those who drink alcohol, the diagnosis may just as likely be alcoholic or nonalcoholic hepatitis especially if there is concurrent obesity, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome. In this case, alcoholic and nonalcoholic hepatitis can be distinguished by the pattern of liver enzyme abnormalities; specifically, in alcoholic steatohepatitis AST>ALT with ratio of AST:ALT>2:1 while in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis ALT>AST with ratio of ALT:AST>1.5:1.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:216" href="#fn:216">216</a>
Liver biopsies show identical findings in patients with ASH and NASH, specifically, the presence of <a href="/facts/Granulocyte/zsE3ldLb">polymorphonuclear</a> infiltration, hepatocyte <a href="/facts/Necrosis/zCPsTeWx">necrosis</a> and <a href="/facts/Apoptosis/8dVzSm4y">apoptosis</a> in the form of <a href="/facts/Ballooning_degeneration/o4YhlYAu">ballooning degeneration</a>, <a href="/facts/Mallory_body/n1jTujIT">Mallory bodies</a>, and fibrosis around veins and sinuses.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:217" href="#fn:217">217</a>

<h2 id="virus-screening">Virus screening</h2>
The purpose of screening for viral hepatitis is to identify people infected with the disease as early as possible, even before symptoms and transaminase elevations may be present. This allows for early treatment, which can both prevent disease progression and decrease the likelihood of transmission to others.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:218" href="#fn:218">218</a>

<h3>Hepatitis A</h3>
Hepatitis A causes an acute illness that does not progress to chronic liver disease. Therefore, the role of screening is to assess immune status in people who are at high risk of contracting the virus, as well as in people with known liver disease for whom hepatitis A infection could lead to liver failure.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:219" href="#fn:219">219</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:220" href="#fn:220">220</a> People in these groups who are not already immune can receive the <a href="/facts/Hepatitis_A_vaccine/uwmEdR7g">hepatitis A vaccine</a>.
Those at high risk and in need of screening include:<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:221" href="#fn:221">221</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:222" href="#fn:222">222</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:223" href="#fn:223">223</a>

<ul><li>People in close contact (either living with or having sexual contact) with someone who has hepatitis A</li>
<li>People traveling to an area with endemic hepatitis A</li>
<li>People who do not have access to clean water</li>
<li>People who use illicit drugs</li>
<li>People with liver disease</li>
<li>People with poor sanitary habits such as not washing hands after using the restroom or changing diapers</li></ul>
The presence of anti-hepatitis A <a href="/facts/Immunoglobulin_G/cKzc83tk">IgG</a> in the blood indicates past infection with the virus or prior vaccination.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:224" href="#fn:224">224</a>

<h2 id="prevention">Prevention</h2>
<h3>Vaccines</h3>
<h4>Hepatitis A</h4>
Main article: <a href="/facts/Hepatitis_A_vaccine/uwmEdR7g">Hepatitis A vaccine</a>

The CDC recommends the <a href="/facts/Hepatitis_A_vaccine/uwmEdR7g">hepatitis A vaccine</a> for all children beginning at age one, as well as for those who have not been previously immunized and are at high risk for contracting the disease.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:329" href="#fn:329">329</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:330" href="#fn:330">330</a>
For children 12 months of age or older, the vaccination is given as a shot into the muscle in two doses 6–18 months apart and should be started before the age 24 months.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:331" href="#fn:331">331</a>  The dosing is slightly different for adults depending on the type of the vaccine.  If the vaccine is for hepatitis A only, two doses are given 6–18 months apart depending on the manufacturer.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:332" href="#fn:332">332</a>  If the vaccine is <a href="/facts/Hepatitis_A_vaccine/uwmEdR7g">combined hepatitis A and hepatitis B</a>, up to 4 doses may be required.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:333" href="#fn:333">333</a>

<h4>Hepatitis B</h4>
Main article: <a href="/facts/Hepatitis_B_vaccine/j2gQw4Sc">Hepatitis B vaccine</a>

The CDC recommends the routine vaccination of all children under the age of 19 with the <a href="/facts/Hepatitis_B_vaccine/j2gQw4Sc">hepatitis B vaccine</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:334" href="#fn:334">334</a> They also recommend it for those who desire it or are at high risk.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:335" href="#fn:335">335</a>
Routine vaccination for hepatitis B starts with the first dose administered as  a shot into the muscle before the newborn is discharged from the hospital. An additional two doses should be administered before the child is 18 months.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:336" href="#fn:336">336</a>
For babies born to a mother with hepatitis B surface antigen positivity, the first dose is unique – in addition to the vaccine, the hepatitis immune globulin should also be administered, both within 12 hours of birth.  These newborns should also be regularly tested for infection for at least the first year of life.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:337" href="#fn:337">337</a>
There is also a combination formulation that includes <a href="/facts/Hepatitis_A_vaccine/uwmEdR7g">both hepatitis A and B vaccines</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:338" href="#fn:338">338</a>

<h4>Other</h4>
There are currently no vaccines available in the United States for hepatitis C or E.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:339" href="#fn:339">339</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:340" href="#fn:340">340</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:341" href="#fn:341">341</a> In 2015, a group in China published an article regarding the development of a <a href="/facts/Vaccine_for_hepatitis_E/oxqCNDQH">vaccine for hepatitis E</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:342" href="#fn:342">342</a> As of March 2016, the United States government was in the process of recruiting participants for the <a href="/facts/Phases_of_clinical_research/o8hEodVu">phase IV trial</a> of the hepatitis E vaccine.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:343" href="#fn:343">343</a>

<h3>Behavioral changes</h3>
<h4>Hepatitis A</h4>
Because hepatitis A is transmitted primarily through the <a href="/facts/Fecal-oral_route/oAl5TN9z">oral-fecal route</a>, the mainstay of prevention aside from vaccination is good hygiene, access to clean water and proper handling of sewage.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:344" href="#fn:344">344</a>

<h4>Hepatitis B and C</h4>
As hepatitis B and C are transmitted through blood and multiple <a href="/facts/Bodily_fluids/RkAXIBVN">bodily fluids</a>, prevention is aimed at screening blood prior to <a href="/facts/Blood_transfusion/fb0Mk6Dx">transfusion</a>, abstaining from the use of injection drugs, safe needle and sharps practices in healthcare settings, and safe sex practices.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:345" href="#fn:345">345</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:346" href="#fn:346">346</a>

<h4>Hepatitis D</h4>

The hepatitis D virus requires that a person first be infected with hepatitis B virus, so prevention efforts should focus on limiting the spread of hepatitis B. In people who have chronic hepatitis B infection and are at risk for <a href="/facts/Superinfection/w6UugHRh">superinfection</a> with the hepatitis D virus, the preventive strategies are the same as for hepatitis B.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:347" href="#fn:347">347</a>

<h4>Hepatitis E</h4>
Hepatitis E is spread primarily through the oral-fecal route but may also be spread by blood and from mother to fetus. The mainstay of hepatitis E prevention is similar to that for hepatitis A (namely, good hygiene and clean water practices).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:348" href="#fn:348">348</a>

<h4>Alcoholic and metabolic hepatitis</h4>
As excessive alcohol consumption can lead to hepatitis and cirrhosis, the following are maximal recommendations for alcohol consumption:<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:349" href="#fn:349">349</a>

<ul><li>Men – ≤ 4 drinks on any given day and ≤ 14 drinks per week</li>
<li>Women – ≤ 3 drinks on any given day and ≤ 7 drinks per week</li></ul>
To prevent MAFLD it is recommended to maintain a normal weight, eat a healthy diet, avoid <a href="/facts/Added_sugar/cqYAro7o">added sugar</a>, and exercise regularly.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:350" href="#fn:350">350</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:351" href="#fn:351">351</a>

<h3>Successes</h3>
<h4>Hepatitis A</h4>
In the United States, universal immunization has led to a two-thirds decrease in hospital admissions and medical expenses due to hepatitis A.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:352" href="#fn:352">352</a>

<h4>Hepatitis B</h4>
In the United States new cases of hepatitis B decreased 75% from 1990 to 2004.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:353" href="#fn:353">353</a>  The group that saw the greatest decrease was children and adolescents, likely reflecting the implementation of the 1999 guidelines.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:354" href="#fn:354">354</a>

<h4>Hepatitis C</h4>
Hepatitis C infections each year had been declining since the 1980s, but began to increase again in 2006.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:355" href="#fn:355">355</a> The data are unclear as to whether the decline can be attributed to <a href="/facts/Needle_exchange_programme/38cjoqho">needle exchange programmes</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:356" href="#fn:356">356</a>

<h4>Alcoholic hepatitis</h4>

Because people with alcoholic hepatitis may have no symptoms, it can be difficult to diagnose and the number of people with the disease is probably higher than many estimates.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:357" href="#fn:357">357</a> Programs such as <a href="/facts/Alcoholics_Anonymous/owLBcGtT">Alcoholics Anonymous</a> have been successful in decreasing death due to <a href="/facts/Cirrhosis/bkLuLvCD">cirrhosis</a>, but it is difficult to evaluate their success in decreasing the incidence of alcoholic hepatitis.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:358" href="#fn:358">358</a>

<h2 id="treatment">Treatment</h2>
The treatment of hepatitis varies according to the type, whether it is acute or chronic, and the severity of the disease.

<ul><li>Activity: Many people with hepatitis prefer bed rest, though it is not necessary to avoid all physical activity while recovering.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:359" href="#fn:359">359</a></li>
<li>Diet: A high-calorie diet is recommended.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:360" href="#fn:360">360</a> Many people develop nausea and cannot tolerate food later in the day, so the bulk of intake may be concentrated in the earlier part of the day.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:361" href="#fn:361">361</a> In the acute phase of the disease, intravenous feeding may be needed if patients cannot tolerate food and have poor oral intake subsequent to nausea and vomiting.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:362" href="#fn:362">362</a></li>
<li>Drugs: People with hepatitis should avoid taking drugs metabolized by the liver.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:363" href="#fn:363">363</a> <a href="/facts/Glucocorticoid/2P91Aj3S">Glucocorticoids</a> are not recommended as a treatment option for acute viral hepatitis and may even cause harm, such as development of chronic hepatitis.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:364" href="#fn:364">364</a></li>
<li>Precautions: <a href="/facts/Universal_precautions/6L56E6II">Universal precautions</a> should be observed. Isolation is usually not needed, except in cases of hepatitis A and E who have fecal incontinence, and in cases of hepatitis B and C who have uncontrolled bleeding.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:365" href="#fn:365">365</a></li></ul>
<h3>Hepatitis A</h3>
Main article: <a href="/facts/Hepatitis_A/k0kw8Gq1">Hepatitis A</a>
Hepatitis A usually does not progress to a chronic state, and rarely requires hospitalization.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:366" href="#fn:366">366</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:367" href="#fn:367">367</a> Treatment is supportive and includes such measures as providing intravenous (IV) hydration and maintaining adequate nutrition.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:368" href="#fn:368">368</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:369" href="#fn:369">369</a>
Rarely, people with the hepatitis A virus can rapidly develop liver failure, termed fulminant hepatic failure, especially the elderly and those who had a pre-existing liver disease, especially hepatitis C.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:370" href="#fn:370">370</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:371" href="#fn:371">371</a> Mortality risk factors include greater age and chronic hepatitis C.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:372" href="#fn:372">372</a> In these cases, more aggressive supportive therapy and liver transplant may be necessary.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:373" href="#fn:373">373</a>

<h3>Hepatitis B</h3>
Main article: <a href="/facts/Hepatitis_B/qqPTEY3p">Hepatitis B</a>
<h4>Acute</h4>
In healthy patients, 95–99% recover with no long-lasting effects, and antiviral treatment is not warranted.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:374" href="#fn:374">374</a> Age and comorbid conditions can result in a more prolonged and severe illness. Certain patients warrant hospitalization, especially those who present with clinical signs of ascites, peripheral edema, and hepatic encephalopathy, and laboratory signs of <a href="/facts/Hypoglycemia/BlAmuP6k">hypoglycemia</a>, prolonged <a href="/facts/Prothrombin_time/pkLRGqcY">prothrombin time</a>, low serum <a href="/facts/Albumin_human/wI8vu5py">albumin</a>, and very high serum <a href="/facts/Bilirubin/HCHyCjkt">bilirubin</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:375" href="#fn:375">375</a>
In these rare, more severe acute cases, patients have been successfully treated with antiviral therapy similar to that used in cases of chronic hepatitis B, with nucleoside analogues such as <a href="/facts/Entecavir/EHWYzFzX">entecavir</a> or <a href="/facts/Tenofovir_disoproxil/PVVaPem5">tenofovir</a>. As there is a dearth of clinical trial data and the drugs used to treat are prone to developing <a href="/facts/Drug_resistance/cgLruXm6">resistance</a>, experts recommend reserving treatment for severe acute cases, not mild to moderate.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:376" href="#fn:376">376</a>

<h4>Chronic</h4>
Chronic hepatitis B management aims to control viral replication, which is correlated with progression of disease.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:377" href="#fn:377">377</a> Seven drugs are approved in the United States:<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:378" href="#fn:378">378</a>

<ul><li><a href="/facts/Adefovir_dipivoxil/SxVJWAJN">Adefovir dipivoxil</a>, a nucleotide analogue, has been used to supplement lamivudine in patients who develop resistance, but is no longer recommended as first-line therapy.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:379" href="#fn:379">379</a></li>
<li><a href="/facts/Entecavir/EHWYzFzX">Entecavir</a> is safe, well tolerated, less prone to developing resistance, and the most potent of the existing hepatitis B antivirals; it is thus a first-line treatment choice.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:380" href="#fn:380">380</a> It is not recommended for lamivudine-resistant patients or as monotherapy in patients who are HIV positive.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:381" href="#fn:381">381</a></li>
<li>Injectable <a href="/facts/Interferon_alpha/jQhMAFA3">interferon alpha</a> was the first therapy approved for chronic hepatitis B.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:382" href="#fn:382">382</a> It has several side effects, most of which are reversible with removal of therapy, but it has been supplanted by newer treatments for this indication.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:383" href="#fn:383">383</a> These include long-acting interferon bound to <a href="/facts/Polyethylene_glycol/tC7xBFwr">polyethylene glycol</a> (pegylated interferon) and the oral nucleoside analogues.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:384" href="#fn:384">384</a></li>
<li><a href="/facts/Lamivudine/eUFvQy4p">Lamivudine</a> was the first approved oral nucleoside analogue.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:385" href="#fn:385">385</a> While effective and potent, lamivudine has been replaced by newer, more potent treatments in the Western world and is no longer recommended as first-line treatment.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:386" href="#fn:386">386</a> It is still used in areas where newer agents either have not been approved or are too costly.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:387" href="#fn:387">387</a> Generally, the course of treatment is a minimum of one year with a minimum of six additional months of "consolidation therapy."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:388" href="#fn:388">388</a> Based on viral response, longer therapy may be required, and certain patients require indefinite long-term therapy.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:389" href="#fn:389">389</a> Due to a less robust response in Asian patients, <a href="/facts/Consolidation_therapy/2ytkGbgT">consolidation therapy</a> is recommended to be extended to at least a year.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:390" href="#fn:390">390</a> All patients should be monitored for viral reactivation, which if identified, requires restarting treatment.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:391" href="#fn:391">391</a> Lamivudine is generally safe and well tolerated.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:392" href="#fn:392">392</a> Many patients develop resistance, which is correlated with longer treatment duration.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:393" href="#fn:393">393</a> If this occurs, an additional antiviral is added.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:394" href="#fn:394">394</a> Lamivudine as a single treatment is contraindicated in patients coinfected with HIV, as resistance develops rapidly, but it can be used as part of a multidrug regimen.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:395" href="#fn:395">395</a></li>
<li><a href="/facts/Pegylated_interferon/yYqVpqAI">Pegylated interferon</a> (PEG IFN) is dosed just once a week as a subcutaneous injection and is both more convenient and effective than standard interferon.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:396" href="#fn:396">396</a> Although it does not develop resistance as do many of the oral antivirals, it is poorly tolerated and requires close monitoring.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:397" href="#fn:397">397</a> PEG IFN is estimated to cost about $18,000 per year in the United States, compared to $2,500–8,700 for the oral medications.

<h3>Metabolic hepatitis</h3>
Main article: <a href="/facts/Non-alcoholic_fatty_liver_disease/WoAmAUmV">Non-alcoholic_fatty_liver_disease § Management</a>
The main treatment of NASH is gradual weight loss and increased physical activity. In the United States, no medications have been approved to treat this disease.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:454" href="#fn:454">454</a>

<h3>Autoimmune hepatitis</h3>
Autoimmune hepatitis is commonly treated by immunosuppressants such as the corticosteroids prednisone or prednisolone, the active version of prednisolone that does not require liver synthesis, either alone or in combination with azathioprine, and some have suggested the combination therapy is preferred to allow for lower doses of corticosteroids to reduce associated side effects,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:455" href="#fn:455">455</a> although the result of treatment efficacy is comparative.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:456" href="#fn:456">456</a>
Treatment of autoimmune hepatitis consists of two phases; an initial and maintenance phase. The initial phase consists of higher doses of corticosteroids which are tapered down over a number of weeks to a lower dose. If used in combination, azathioprine is given during the initial phase as well. Once the initial phase has been completed, a maintenance phase that consists of lower dose corticosteroids, and in combination therapy, azathioprine until liver blood markers are normalized. Treatment results in 66–91% of patients achieving normal liver test values in two years, with the average being 22 months.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:457" href="#fn:457">457</a>

<h2 id="prognosis">Prognosis</h2>
<h3>Acute hepatitis</h3>
Nearly all patients with hepatitis A infections recover completely without complications if they were healthy prior to the infection. Similarly, acute hepatitis B infections have a favorable course towards complete recovery in 95–99% of patients.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:458" href="#fn:458">458</a> Certain factors may portend a poorer outcome, such as co-morbid medical conditions or initial presenting symptoms of ascites, edema, or encephalopathy.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:459" href="#fn:459">459</a> Overall, the mortality rate for acute hepatitis is low: ~0.1% in total for cases of hepatitis A and B, but rates can be higher in certain populations (super infection with both hepatitis B and D, pregnant women, etc.).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:460" href="#fn:460">460</a>
In contrast to hepatitis A & B, hepatitis C carries a much higher risk of progressing to chronic hepatitis, approaching 85–90%.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:461" href="#fn:461">461</a> Cirrhosis has been reported to develop in 20–50% of patients with chronic hepatitis C.
Other rare complications of acute hepatitis include <a href="/facts/Pancreatitis/gmbNTcCG">pancreatitis</a>, <a href="/facts/Aplastic_anemia/8VMHLI6J">aplastic anemia</a>, <a href="/facts/Peripheral_neuropathy/2KjA7nyD">peripheral neuropathy</a>, and <a href="/facts/Myocarditis/ypoBJ4Pp">myocarditis</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:462" href="#fn:462">462</a>

<h4>Fulminant hepatitis</h4>
Despite the relatively benign course of most viral cases of hepatitis, fulminant hepatitis represents a rare but feared complication. Fulminant hepatitis most commonly occurs in hepatitis B, D, and E. About 1–2% of cases of hepatitis E can lead to fulminant hepatitis, but pregnant women are particularly susceptible, occurring in up to 20% of cases.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:463" href="#fn:463">463</a> Mortality rates in cases of fulminant hepatitis rise over 80%, but those patients that do survive often make a complete recovery. Liver transplantation can be life-saving in patients with fulminant liver failure.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:464" href="#fn:464">464</a>
Hepatitis D infections can transform benign cases of hepatitis B into severe, progressive hepatitis, a phenomenon known as <a href="/facts/Superinfection/w6UugHRh">superinfection</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:465" href="#fn:465">465</a>

<h3>Chronic hepatitis</h3>
Acute hepatitis B infections become less likely to progress to chronic forms as the age of the patient increases, with rates of progression approaching 90% in vertically transmitted cases of infants compared to 1% risk in young adults.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:466" href="#fn:466">466</a> Overall, the five-year survival rate for chronic hepatitis B ranges from 97% in mild cases to 55% in severe cases with cirrhosis.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:467" href="#fn:467">467</a>
Most patients who acquire hepatitis D at the same time as hepatitis B (co-infection) recover without developing a chronic infection. In people with hepatitis B who later acquire hepatitis D (superinfection), chronic infection is much more common at 80–90%, and liver disease progression is accelerated.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:468" href="#fn:468">468</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:469" href="#fn:469">469</a>
Chronic hepatitis C progresses towards cirrhosis, with estimates of cirrhosis prevalence of 16% at 20 years after infection.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:470" href="#fn:470">470</a> While the major causes of mortality in hepatitis C is end stage liver disease, hepatocellular carcinoma is an important additional long term complication and cause of death in chronic hepatitis.
Rates of mortality increase with progression of the underlying liver disease. Series of patients with compensated cirrhosis due to HCV have shown 3,5, and 10-year survival rates of 96, 91, and 79% respectively.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:471" href="#fn:471">471</a> The 5-year survival rate drops to 50% upon if the cirrhosis becomes decompensated.

Similar to Hepatitis A, <a href="/facts/Hepatitis_E/oxqCNDQH">hepatitis E</a> manifests as large outbreaks and epidemics associated with fecal contamination of water sources.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:517" href="#fn:517">517</a> It accounts for more than 55,000 deaths annually with approximately 20 million people worldwide thought to be infected with the virus.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:518" href="#fn:518">518</a> It affects predominantly young adults, causing acute hepatitis.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:519" href="#fn:519">519</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:520" href="#fn:520">520</a> In infected pregnant women, Hepatitis E infection can lead to fulminant hepatitis with third trimester mortality rates as high as 30%.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:521" href="#fn:521">521</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:522" href="#fn:522">522</a> Those with weakened immune systems, such as organ transplant recipients, are also susceptible.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:523" href="#fn:523">523</a> Infection is rare in the United States but rates are high in the developing world (Africa, Asia, Central America, Middle East).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:524" href="#fn:524">524</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:525" href="#fn:525">525</a> Many genotypes exist and are differentially distributed around the world.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:526" href="#fn:526">526</a> There is some evidence of hepatitis E infection of animals, serving as a reservoir for human infection.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:527" href="#fn:527">527</a>

<h3>Alcoholic hepatitis</h3>
<a href="/facts/Alcoholic_hepatitis/HJQqBzsx">Alcoholic hepatitis</a> (AH) in its severe form has a one-month mortality as high as 50%.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:528" href="#fn:528">528</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:529" href="#fn:529">529</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:530" href="#fn:530">530</a> Most people who develop AH are men but women are at higher risk of developing AH and its complications likely secondary to high body fat and differences in alcohol metabolism.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:531" href="#fn:531">531</a> Other contributing factors include younger age <60, binge pattern drinking, poor nutritional status, obesity and hepatitis C co-infection.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:532" href="#fn:532">532</a> It is estimated that as much as 20% of people with AH are also infected with hepatitis C.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:533" href="#fn:533">533</a> In this population, the presence of hepatitis C virus leads to more severe disease with faster progression to cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma and increased mortality.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:534" href="#fn:534">534</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:535" href="#fn:535">535</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:536" href="#fn:536">536</a> Obesity increases the likelihood of progression to cirrhosis in cases of alcoholic hepatitis.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:537" href="#fn:537">537</a> It is estimated that 70% of people who have AH will progress to cirrhosis.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:538" href="#fn:538">538</a>

<h3>Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis</h3>
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is projected to become the top reason for <a href="/facts/Liver_transplantation/0noMXT50">liver transplantation</a> in the United States by 2020, supplanting chronic liver disease due to hepatitis C.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:539" href="#fn:539">539</a> About 20–45% of the U.S. population have NAFLD and 6% have NASH.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:540" href="#fn:540">540</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:541" href="#fn:541">541</a> The estimated prevalence of NASH in the world is 3–5%.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:542" href="#fn:542">542</a> Of NASH patients who develop <a href="/facts/Cirrhosis/bkLuLvCD">cirrhosis</a>, about 2% per year will likely progress to <a href="/facts/Hepatocellular_carcinoma/lE0P5CqE">hepatocellular carcinoma</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:543" href="#fn:543">543</a> Worldwide, the estimated prevalence of hepatocellular carcinoma related to NAFLD is 15–30%.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:544" href="#fn:544">544</a> NASH is thought to be the primary cause of cirrhosis in approximately 25% of patients in the United States, representing 1–2% of the general population.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:545" href="#fn:545">545</a>

<h2 id="history">History</h2>
<h3>Early observations</h3>
Initial accounts of a syndrome that we now think is likely to be hepatitis begin to occur around 3000 B.C. Clay tablets that served as medical handbooks for the ancient Sumerians described the first observations of jaundice. The Sumerians believed that the liver was the home of the soul, and attributed the findings of jaundice to the attack of the liver by a devil named <a href="/facts/Akhkhazu/GDmXL7z0">Ahhazu</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:546" href="#fn:546">546</a>
Around 400 B.C., <a href="/facts/Hippocrates/lXUElFQD">Hippocrates</a> recorded the first documentation of an epidemic jaundice, in particular noting the uniquely fulminant course of a cohort of patients who all died within two weeks. He wrote, "The bile contained in the liver is full of phlegm and blood, and erupts...After such an eruption, the patient soon raves, becomes angry, talks nonsense and barks like a dog."<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:547" href="#fn:547">547</a>
Given the poor sanitary conditions of war, infectious jaundice played a large role as a major cause of mortality among troops in the Napoleonic Wars, the American Revolutionary War, and both World Wars.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:548" href="#fn:548">548</a> During World War II, estimates of soldiers affected by hepatitis were upwards of 10 million.
During World War II, soldiers received vaccines against diseases such as <a href="/facts/Yellow_fever/feT3DIKu">yellow fever</a>, but these vaccines were stabilized with human serum, presumably contaminated with hepatitis viruses, which often created epidemics of hepatitis.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:549" href="#fn:549">549</a> It was suspected these epidemics were due to a separate infectious agent, and not due to the yellow fever virus itself, after noting 89 cases of jaundice in the months after vaccination out of a total 3,100 patients that were vaccinated. After changing the seed virus strain, no cases of jaundice were observed in the subsequent 8,000 vaccinations.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:550" href="#fn:550">550</a>

<h3>Willowbrook State School experiments</h3>
A New York University researcher named <a href="/facts/Saul_Krugman/77vXrAeG">Saul Krugman</a> continued this research into the 1950s and 1960s, most infamously with his experiments on mentally disabled children at the <a href="/facts/Willowbrook_State_School/5uycUkjS">Willowbrook State School</a> in New York, a crowded urban facility where hepatitis infections were highly endemic to the student body. Krugman injected students with gamma globulin, a type of antibody. After observing the temporary protection against infection this antibody provided, he then tried injected live hepatitis virus into students. Krugman also controversially took feces from infected students, blended it into milkshakes, and fed it to newly admitted children.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:551" href="#fn:551">551</a>
His research was received with much controversy, as people protested the questionable ethics surrounding the chosen target population. <a href="/facts/Henry_K._Beecher/FV9re0gL">Henry Beecher</a> was one of the foremost critics in an article in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1966, arguing that parents were unaware to the risks of consent and that the research was done to benefit others at the expense of children.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:552" href="#fn:552">552</a> Moreover, he argued that poor families with mentally disabled children often felt pressured to join the research project to gain admission to the school, with all of the educational and support resources that would come along with it.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:553" href="#fn:553">553</a> Others in the medical community spoke out in support of Krugman's research in terms of its widespread benefits and understanding of the hepatitis virus, and Willowbrook continues to be a commonly cited example in debates about medical ethics.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:554" href="#fn:554">554</a>

<h3>Australia antigen</h3>
The next insight regarding hepatitis B was a serendipitous one by <a href="/facts/Baruch_Samuel_Blumberg/H3P4Is6F">Dr. Baruch Blumberg</a>, a researcher at the NIH who did not set out to research hepatitis, but rather studied lipoprotein genetics. He travelled across the globe collecting blood samples, investigating the interplay between disease, environment, and genetics with the goal of designing targeted interventions for at-risk people that could prevent them from getting sick.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:555" href="#fn:555">555</a> He noticed an unexpected interaction between the blood of a patient with <a href="/facts/Haemophilia/DzpVBLna">hemophilia</a> that had received multiple transfusions and a protein found in the blood of an indigenous Australian person.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:556" href="#fn:556">556</a> He named the protein the "Australia antigen" and made it the focus of his research. He found a higher prevalence of the protein in the blood of patients from developing countries, compared to those from developed ones, and noted associations of the antigen with other diseases like leukemia and Down Syndrome.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:557" href="#fn:557">557</a> Eventually, he came to the unifying conclusion that the Australia antigen was associated with viral hepatitis.
In 1970, <a href="/facts/David_Dane/A9BBahy6">David Dane</a> first isolated the hepatitis B <a href="/facts/Virion/mf88Bcbl">virion</a> at London's Middlesex Hospital, and named the virion the 42-nm "Dane particle".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:558" href="#fn:558">558</a> Based on its association with the surface of the hepatitis B virus, the Australia antigen was renamed to "hepatitis B surface antigen" or <a href="/facts/HBsAg/PBxJ0fve">HBsAg</a>.
Blumberg continued to study the antigen, and eventually developed the first hepatitis B vaccine using plasma rich in HBsAg, for which he received the <a href="/facts/Nobel_Prize_in_Physiology_or_Medicine/rlnpJX84">Nobel Prize in Medicine</a> in 1976.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:559" href="#fn:559">559</a>

<h3>Economic burden</h3>
Overall, hepatitis accounts for a significant portion of healthcare expenditures in both developing and developed nations, and is expected to rise in several developing countries.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:560" href="#fn:560">560</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:561" href="#fn:561">561</a> While hepatitis A infections are self-limited events, they are associated with significant costs in the United States.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:562" href="#fn:562">562</a> It has been estimated that <a href="/facts/Direct_cost/FRwUSFp5">direct and indirect costs</a> are approximately $1817 and $2459 respectively per case, and that an average of 27 work days is lost per infected adult.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:563" href="#fn:563">563</a> A 1997 report demonstrated that a single hospitalization related to hepatitis A cost an average of $6,900 and resulted in around $500 million in total annual healthcare costs.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:564" href="#fn:564">564</a> Cost effectiveness studies have found widespread vaccination of adults to not be feasible, but have stated that a combination hepatitis A and B vaccination of children and at risk groups (people from endemic areas, healthcare workers) may be.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:565" href="#fn:565">565</a>
Hepatitis B accounts for a much larger percentage of health care spending in endemic regions like Asia.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:566" href="#fn:566">566</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:567" href="#fn:567">567</a> In 1997 it accounted for 3.2% of South Korea's total health care expenditures and resulted in $696 million in direct costs.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:568" href="#fn:568">568</a> A large majority of that sum was spent on treating disease symptoms and complications.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:569" href="#fn:569">569</a> Chronic hepatitis B infections are not as endemic in the United States, but accounted for $357 million in hospitalization costs in the year 1990.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:570" href="#fn:570">570</a> That number grew to $1.5 billion in 2003, but remained stable as of 2006, which may be attributable to the introduction of effective drug therapies and vaccination campaigns.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:571" href="#fn:571">571</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:572" href="#fn:572">572</a>
People infected with chronic hepatitis C tend to be frequent users of the health care system globally.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:573" href="#fn:573">573</a> It has been estimated that a person infected with hepatitis C in the United States will result in a monthly cost of $691.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:574" href="#fn:574">574</a> That number nearly doubles to $1,227 for people with compensated (stable) cirrhosis, while the monthly cost of people with decompensated (worsening) cirrhosis is almost five times as large at $3,682.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:575" href="#fn:575">575</a> The wide-ranging effects of hepatitis make it difficult to estimate indirect costs, but studies have speculated that the total cost is $6.5 billion annually in the United States.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:576" href="#fn:576">576</a> In Canada, 56% of HCV related costs are attributable to cirrhosis and total expenditures related to the virus are expected to peak at CAD$396 million in the year 2032.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:577" href="#fn:577">577</a>

<h3>2003 Monaca outbreak</h3>
The largest outbreak of hepatitis A virus in United States history occurred among people who ate at a now-defunct Mexican food restaurant located in Monaca, Pennsylvania in late 2003.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:578" href="#fn:578">578</a> Over 550 people who visited the restaurant between September and October 2003 were infected with the virus, three of whom died as a direct result.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:579" href="#fn:579">579</a> The outbreak was brought to the attention of health officials when local <a href="/facts/Emergency_medicine/HmVeC5R9">emergency medicine</a> physicians noticed a significant increase in cases of hepatitis A in the county.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:580" href="#fn:580">580</a> After conducting its investigation, the <a href="/facts/Centers_for_Disease_Control_and_Prevention/NmoJNDV5">CDC</a> attributed the source of the outbreak to the use of contaminated raw <a href="/facts/Scallion/f9pEcp9T">green onion</a>. The restaurant was purchasing its green onion stock from farms in Mexico at the time.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:581" href="#fn:581">581</a> It is believed that the green onions may have been contaminated through the use of contaminated water for crop irrigation, rinsing, or icing or by handling of the vegetables by infected people.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:582" href="#fn:582">582</a> Green onion had caused similar outbreaks of hepatitis A in the southern United States prior to this, but not to the same magnitude.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:583" href="#fn:583">583</a> The CDC believes that the restaurant's use of a large communal bucket for chopped raw green onion allowed non-contaminated plants to be mixed with contaminated ones, increasing the number of vectors of infection and amplifying the outbreak.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:584" href="#fn:584">584</a> The restaurant was closed once it was discovered to be the source, and over 9,000 people were given hepatitis A <a href="/facts/Antibody/MX8pdTdP">immune globulin</a> because they had either eaten at the restaurant or had been in close contact with someone who had.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:585" href="#fn:585">585</a>

<h3>HIV co-infection</h3>
Persons infected with HIV have a particularly high burden of <a href="/facts/Hepatitis_C_and_HIV_coinfection/DxLV3DGm">HIV-HCV co-infection</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:586" href="#fn:586">586</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:587" href="#fn:587">587</a> In a recent study by the <a href="/facts/World_Health_Organization/YNN3bgug">WHO</a>, the likelihood of being infected with hepatitis C virus was six times greater in those who also had HIV.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:588" href="#fn:588">588</a> The prevalence of HIV-HCV co-infection worldwide was estimated to be 6.2% representing more than 2.2 million people.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:589" href="#fn:589">589</a> Intravenous drug use was an independent risk factor for HCV infection.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:590" href="#fn:590">590</a> In the WHO study, the prevalence of HIV-HCV co-infection was markedly higher at 82.4% in those who injected drugs compared to the general population (2.4%).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:591" href="#fn:591">591</a> In a study of HIV-HCV co-infection among HIV positive men who have sex with men (MSM), the overall prevalence of anti-hepatitis C antibodies was estimated to be 8.1% and increased to 40% among HIV positive MSM who also injected drugs.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:592" href="#fn:592">592</a>

<h3>Pregnancy</h3>
<h4>Hepatitis B</h4>
<a href="/facts/Vertically_transmitted_infection/vQsupcXl">Vertical transmission</a> is a significant contributor of new <a href="/facts/Hepatitis_B_virus/vk2qncf2">HBV</a> cases each year, with 35–50% of transmission from mother to neonate in endemic countries.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:593" href="#fn:593">593</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:594" href="#fn:594">594</a> Vertical transmission occurs largely via a neonate's exposure to maternal blood and vaginal secretions during birth.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:595" href="#fn:595">595</a> While the risk of progression to chronic infection is approximately 5% among adults who contract the virus, it is as high as 95% among neonates subject to vertical transmission.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:596" href="#fn:596">596</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:597" href="#fn:597">597</a> The risk of viral transmission is approximately 10–20% when maternal blood is positive for HBsAg, and up to 90% when also positive for <a href="/facts/HBeAg/gcFK6AvT">HBeAg</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:598" href="#fn:598">598</a>
Given the high risk of perinatal transmission, the <a href="/facts/Centre_for_Disease_Control/NmoJNDV5">CDC</a> recommends screening all pregnant women for HBV at their first prenatal visit.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:599" href="#fn:599">599</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:600" href="#fn:600">600</a> It is safe for non-immune pregnant women to receive the HBV vaccine.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:601" href="#fn:601">601</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:602" href="#fn:602">602</a> Based on the limited available evidence, the <a href="/facts/American_Association_for_the_Study_of_Liver_Diseases/Nrbuh4FE">American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases</a> (AASLD) recommends antiviral therapy in pregnant women whose viral load exceeds 200,000 IU/mL.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:603" href="#fn:603">603</a> A growing body of evidence shows that antiviral therapy initiated in the third trimester significantly reduces transmission to the neonate.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:604" href="#fn:604">604</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:605" href="#fn:605">605</a> A systematic review of the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry database found that there was no increased risk of congenital anomalies with <a href="/facts/Tenofovir_disoproxil/PVVaPem5">Tenofovir</a>; for this reason, along with its potency and low risk of resistance, the AASLD recommends this drug.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:606" href="#fn:606">606</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:607" href="#fn:607">607</a> A 2010 systematic review and meta-analysis found that <a href="/facts/Lamivudine/eUFvQy4p">Lamivudine</a> initiated early in the third trimester also significantly reduced mother-to-child transmission of HBV, without any known adverse effects.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:608" href="#fn:608">608</a>
The <a href="/facts/American_Congress_of_Obstetricians_and_Gynecologists/9E490I1J">ACOG</a> states that the evidence available does not suggest any particular mode of delivery (i.e. <a href="/facts/Vaginal_delivery/jFRdDr6k">vaginal</a> vs. <a href="/facts/Caesarean_section/GJ623ers">cesarean</a>) is better at reducing vertical transmission in mothers with HBV.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:609" href="#fn:609">609</a>
The <a href="/facts/World_Health_Organization/YNN3bgug">WHO</a> and CDC recommend that neonates born to mothers with HBV should receive hepatitis B immune globulin (<a href="/facts/Hepatitis_B_immune_globulin/XHGEYK1t">HBIG</a>) as well as the <a href="/facts/Hepatitis_B_vaccine/j2gQw4Sc">HBV vaccine</a> within 12 hours of birth.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:610" href="#fn:610">610</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:611" href="#fn:611">611</a> For infants who have received HBIG and the HBV vaccine, breastfeeding is safe.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:612" href="#fn:612">612</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:613" href="#fn:613">613</a>

<h4>Hepatitis C</h4>
Estimates of the rate of <a href="/facts/Hepatitis_C_virus/DFUwAzlB">HCV</a> vertical transmission range from 2–8%; a 2014 systematic review and meta-analysis found the risk to be 5.8% in HCV-positive, HIV-negative women.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:614" href="#fn:614">614</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:615" href="#fn:615">615</a> The same study found the risk of vertical transmission to be 10.8% in HCV-positive, HIV-positive women.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:616" href="#fn:616">616</a> Other studies have found the risk of vertical transmission to be as high as 44% among HIV-positive women.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:617" href="#fn:617">617</a> The risk of vertical transmission is higher when the virus is detectable in the mother's blood.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:618" href="#fn:618">618</a>
Evidence does not indicate that mode of delivery (i.e. vaginal vs. cesarean) has an effect on vertical transmission.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:619" href="#fn:619">619</a>
For women who are HCV-positive and HIV-negative, breastfeeding is safe. CDC guidelines suggest avoiding it if a woman's nipples are cracked or bleeding to reduce the risk of transmission.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:620" href="#fn:620">620</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:621" href="#fn:621">621</a>

<h4>Hepatitis E</h4>
Pregnant women who contract <a href="/facts/Hepatitis_E_virus/vIhR4Vdz">HEV</a> are at significant risk of developing fulminant hepatitis with maternal mortality rates as high as 20–30%, most commonly in the third trimester .<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:622" href="#fn:622">622</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:623" href="#fn:623">623</a><a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:624" href="#fn:624">624</a> A 2016 systematic review and meta-analysis of 47 studies that included 3968 people found maternal <a href="/facts/Case_fatality_rate/gcPYD2Nx">case-fatality rates</a> (CFR) of 20.8% and fetal CFR of 34.2%; among women who developed fulminant hepatic failure, CFR was 61.2%.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:625" href="#fn:625">625</a>

<h2 id="vaccine">Vaccine</h2>
An essential defense against hepatitis infections, especially those caused by Hepatitis A and B, is the hepatitis vaccination. The Hepatitis B vaccination is quite effective and frequently used. The frequency of hepatitis-related liver illnesses and fatalities has been considerably decreased by the immunization campaigns.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:626" href="#fn:626">626</a>
