		Hepatitis B: is a serious disease caused by a virus that attacks the liver.
		Hepatitis C: is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV), which is found in the blood of persons who have the disease.
		Hepatitis D: is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis D virus (HDV), a defective virus that needs the hepatitis B virus to exist.

	Hepatitis
		Hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C are all contagious.
		Although hepatitis C can be spread from a mother to her fetus during pregnancy, the risk of passing hepatitis C to the fetus isn't very high (about 5%).
		Hepatitis A is usually active for a short period of time and once a person recovers, he or she can no longer pass the virus to other people.

	Tests for Viral Hepatitis - Hepatitis B
		Hepatitis B virus can be transmitted sexually, parenterally, directly from person to person through superficial skin or mucosal lesions, or from mother to infant at birth and in the perinatal period.
		Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) is borne by surface viral proteins, i.e.
		Hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) is borne by a nonstructural protein produced during viral replication in hepatocytes infected by so-called "wild-type" HBV and then released into the general circulation.

	The A, B, Cs of Viral Hepatitis
		Viral hepatitis is an infection that affects the liver.
		Hepatitis B is spread by having sex with an infected person without a condom, sharing needles or "works" when "shooting" drugs, needlesticks or sharps exposures in a health care setting, or from an infected mother to her baby during vaginal birth.
		Hepatitis C is spread through sharing needles or "works" when "shooting" drugs, through needlestick or sharps exposures in a health care setting, or sometimes from an infected mother to her baby during vaginal birth.

	Chronic Viral Hepatitis
		Viral Hepatitis B: Sometimes called "Serum Hepatitis." It is spread from mother to child at birth or soon after, through sexual contact, contaminated blood transfusions and needles.
		Viral Hepatitis D: This form of viral hepatitis is found most often in IV drug users who are carriers of the hepatitis B virus.
		Viral Hepatitis E: This form of viral hepatitis is similar to viral hepatitis A. It is found most often in people who live in countries with poor sanitation.

	Hepatitis, Viral (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The disease is transmitted by contaminated food or water, or contact with a person ill with hepatitis A. The hepatitis A virus is shed in the stools of an infected person during the incubation period of 15 to 45 days before symptoms occur and during the first week that the person feels sick.
		Hepatitis A is usually transmitted from feces on unwashed hands (putting dirty hands into the mouth) and by ingesting contaminated food and water (for example, seafood from sewage contaminated water).
		Hepatitis B and C are transmitted via blood; therefore, blood transfusion, intravenous (IV) drug use with contaminated needles, and sexual activity are all ways that people have contracted either of these viruses.

	Viral Hepatitis
		Hepatitis is Latin for "inflammation of the liver".
		Hepatitis D can be thought of as an incomplete virus: it needs help from the hepatitis B virus in order to cause liver infection.
		Hepatitis E has most often been seen in epidemics in parts of Mexico, Asia, and Africa; it is occasionally seen in the United States, but usually in people who have travelled to places where hepatitis E is common.

	eMedicine - Hepatitis, Viral : Article by David C Wolf, MD, FACP, FACG
		The term viral hepatitis is often thought to be synonymous with diseases caused by the known hepatotropic viruses, including hepatitis viruses A, B, C, D, and E. However, the term hepatotropic is itself a misnomer.
		Hepatitis A virus (HAV); hepatitis B virus (HBV); hepatitis C virus (HCV); hepatitis D virus (HDV), which requires coexisting HBV infection; and hepatitis E virus (HEV) cause 95% of cases of acute viral hepatitis observed in the United States.
		Fulminant hepatic failure may occur in as many as 1% of cases of acute hepatitis due to hepatitis A or B. Hepatitis E is a common cause in Asia.

		Hepatitis A antibody (immunoglobulin M [IgM] anti-HAV): Detecting the presence of IgM anti-HAV in serum is the standard for diagnosing acute infection with HAV.
		Hepatitis E: The disease course of HEV may be more severe during pregnancy, with a high case-fatality rate, especially when the disease is contracted during the second or third trimester.

		People who have hepatitis B are also at risk if they have sex with a person infected with hepatitis D or if they live with an infected person.
		Some cases of viral hepatitis cannot be attributed to the hepatitis A, B, C, D, or E viruses.

		Hepatitis is the inflammation of the liver, resulting in liver cell damage and destruction.
		This type of hepatitis is usually spread by fecal-oral contact, or fecal-infected food and water, and may also be spread by blood-borne infection (which is rare).

	Viral Hepatitis Symptoms, Causes, Diagnosis, and Treatment by MedicineNet.com
		When doctors speak of viral hepatitis, they usually are referring to hepatitis caused by a few specific viruses that primarily attack the liver.
		There are several hepatitis viruses; they have been named types A, B, C, D, E, F (not confirmed), and G. As our knowledge of hepatitis viruses grows, it is likely that this alphabetical list will become longer.
		The most common hepatitis viruses are types A, B, and C. The liver is located in the upper right hand side of the abdomen, mostly behind the rib cage.
