Smitsom leverbetændelse skyldes infektion med hepatitis A virus, og der findes ingen behandling. Virus findes i tarmen hos mennesker og overføres gennem drikkevand og ikke varmebehandlet mad ( salat,skaldyr etc. ).
Hepatitis A virus(picornavirus) er meget stabilt og tåler temperatur op til 60 grader. Det kan ligeledes overleve i frosset vand i årevis. Isterninger til afkøling af læskedrikke kan derfor være en smittekilde.
Infektionen er meget udbredt og i Afrika, Asien og Sydamerika forekommer hepatitis A fortrinsvis blandt børn, og mere end 80 % af befolkningen over 20 år har antistoffer mod hepatitis A virus som udtryk for tidligere infektion.
Inkubationstiden for hepatitis A varierer fra 2 til 6 uger. Hepatitis A infektionen forløber ofte uden symptomer hos børn, og i førskolealderen er 90 % af alle infektioner subkliniske. Disse tilsyneladende raske børn kan smitte andre i daginstitutioner og skoler, hvorfor det kan være en god ide at vaccinere børn i lighed med voksne. Sygdommen kan hos voksne ofte kræve indlæggelse.
Forekomsten af smitsom leverbetændelse ses på kortet herunder.

We can cure about half of the patients with chronic hepatitis C, including some with advanced cirrhosis and liver failure. If you are cured, your viral level falls to undetectable during treatment and stays undetectable the rest of your life, even after you stop the medications. Some patients who are clinically cured of HCV may still have tiny amounts of HCV , but the implications of this are not yet clear. If your HCV-RNA level becomes after your last injection of interferon, you have a 97-99% chance of permanent cure. I add information to this web site as often as I can, and I want to make it the best possible resource for patients whom are often incorrectly told that they cannot be helped. The opinions expressed here are entirely my own, and are based on my experience in treating more than 2,500 patients with hepatitis C. I am especially

Hepatitis C virus Virus classification Group: Group IV (+)ssRNA Family: Flaviviridae Genus: Hepacivirus Species: Hepatitis C virus Hepatitis C is a form of hepatitis liver inflammation ) caused by a virus , the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). Before the virus was discovered, in , the syndrome was initially referred to as a "non-A-non-B hepatitis". In about 15% of cases, hepatitis C infection is acute, meaning it is cleared spontaneously by the body and there are no long-term consequences. Unfortunately, in the majority of cases (85%), the infection becomes chronic and may damage the liver over many years.

However, over time this blood borne virus can cause long term damage to the liver , including cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma . Severe liver damage may not develop until 10-40 years after infection. Certain medical phenomena have been associated with the presence of hepatitis C, such as

Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver. Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver. Several different viruses cause viral hepatitis. They are named the hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E viruses. All of these viruses cause acute, or short-term, viral hepatitis. The hepatitis B, C, and D viruses can also cause chronic hepatitis, in which the infection is prolonged, sometimes lifelong. Other viruses may also cause hepatitis, but they have yet to be discovered and they are obviously rare causes of the disease.
Symptoms of Viral Hepatitis

Wirusowe zapalenie w±troby typu B WZW B? Co to jest? WZW B - wirusowe zapalenie w±troby typu (tak¿e wszczepienna ¿ó³taczka zaka¼na lub hepatitis B ) jest chorob± spokrewnion± z WZW A, czyli "zwyk³±" ¿ó³taczk±. Choroba atakuje w±trobê powoduj±c obumieranie komórek tego organu (marsko¶æ w±troby) oraz pierwotnego raka w±troby. Marsko¶æ koñczy siê w 1/3 przypadków ¶mierci± w przci±gu jednego roku! Jest to bardzo niebezpieczna a tak¿e bolesna dolegliwo¶æ. Jedyn± mo¿liwo¶ci± "wyleczenia" chronicznej marsko¶ci w±troby jest transplantacja - ze wzglêdu na koszty zabiegu i brak "dawców" jest to tylko teoretyczne wyj¶cie z sytuacji. Stwierdzenie chronicznej marsko¶ci jest wiêc równoznaczne z wyrokiem ¶mierci.
Choæ choroba jest w Polsce bardzo "popularna" - rocznie rejestrowanych jest kilkana¶cie tysiêcy zara¿eñ (w Polsce 2% populacji to nosiciele WZW B!) oraz kilka tysiêcy ofiar ¶miertelnych - jest niestety nadal ignorowana. Jak mo¿na siê zaraziæ WZW B?

    The word hepatitis simply means an inflammation of the liver without pinpointing a specific cause. Someone with hepatitis may:
    • have one of several disorders, including viral or bacterial infection of the liver
    • have a liver injury caused by a toxin (poison)
    • have liver damage caused by interruption of the organ's normal blood supply
    • be experiencing an attack by his or her own immune system through an autoimmune disorder
    • have experienced trauma to the abdomen in the area of the liver
    Hepatitis is most commonly caused by one of three viruses:
    • the hepatitis A virus
    • the hepatitis B virus
    • the hepatitis C virus
    In some rare cases, the Epstein Barr Virus (which causes mononucleosis ) can also result in hepatitis because it can cause inflammation to the liver. There are other viruses and bacteria that can also cause hepatitis including hepatitis D, E, varicella ( chickenpox ), and cytomegalovirus (CMV). What Is Hepatitis A?
    In children, the most common form of hepatitis is hepatitis A (also called infectious hepatitis ). This form is caused by the hepatitis A virus (HAV), which lives in the stools (feces or poop) of infected individuals. Infected stool can be present in small amounts in food and on objects (from door knobs to diapers).

    Hepatitis C Virus Infection in Cocaine Users: A Silent Epidemic
    Researchers at the Medical College of Wisconsin have found that up to one-third of cocaine users who thought they were healthy may be infected with hepatitis C. Hepatitis C can lead to chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver and even liver cancer. There is no cure or vaccine. It has been suggested by some researchers that Hepatitis C infection may be the major cause of liver disease in the United States. The use of alcohol may make the effects of Hepatitis C on the liver more severe. "Our observations suggest a significant epidemic in an unsuspecting population with little regular access to health care," notes study author Harold H. Harsch, MD
