Infectious hepatitis is a type of liver inflammation that is caused by a virus. This viral infection can lead to fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, and abdominal pain. There are several synonyms for infectious hepatitis, including viral hepatitis, hepatic viral infection, and viral liver inflammation. These terms are often used interchangeably to describe the same condition. The most common forms of viral hepatitis are Hepatitis A, B, and C. Hepatitis A is often spread through contaminated food or water, while Hepatitis B and C are transmitted through blood and bodily fluids. It is important to seek medical attention if you suspect that you have infectious hepatitis, as early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent long-term liver damage.
