Hepatitis is commonly called a group of diseases,which are characterized by liver damage. The main cause of infection are viral infections. In many cases, hepatitis can develop into a chronic disease.

Hepatitis A, B and C: what are they dangerous?

Hepatitis A was called Botkin's disease inhonor of an outstanding physician who has made a huge contribution to the fight against hepatitis. As a rule, this form of hepatitis resembles the usual flu by external signs. Usually it does not cause serious consequences for the human body. Yet targeted treatment is required. Hepatitis B is a very dangerous virus that leads to severe liver damage. This virus is very tenacious, because it can be killed only with twenty minutes of boiling the liquid. Treatment of hepatitis B will require the use of special drugs. To tighten with this it is not necessary, because hepatitis can lead to cirrhosis and even liver cancer. In especially severe cases, rashes on the body and an enlargement of the spleen are observed. Infection with hepatitis B is possible not only through the blood, but also through sexual contact. Hepatitis C is one of the most dangerous types of hepatitis. In 75% of cases, he becomes a chronic disease. Such a form of hepatitis will inevitably lead to cirrhosis of the liver or oncological disease. Against hepatitis C, there are no effective vaccines. So you can only be protected if you follow the security measures. Do not use non-sterile syringes and be illegible in sexual intercourse.

Hepatitis D, E and G: it is worth to be afraid!

In fact, hepatitis D is not self-sufficientvirus infection and can not develop in the human body without hepatitis B. However, this form of infection can seriously complicate the course of hepatitis B. Complicated disease especially requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. Hepatitis E is especially dangerous because in addition to the liver, it also affects the kidneys. Unlike Botkin's disease, this form will require long and intensive treatment. Especially it is necessary to be afraid of pregnant women. Among them, mortality from hepatitis E is more than twenty percent. Infecting this virus can be with the use of unwashed vegetables and fruit. Self-contained hepatitis G is not capable of harming the body. It practically does not progress. But in combination with the hepatitis C virus can easily become the cause of liver cirrhosis.
