Hepatitis E



Hepatitis E Causes


Hepatitis E is a virus that lives in feces and water. It is common in places with poor sanitation and non-potable water supply.


Hepatitis E Definition


Hepatitis E is a kind of hepatitis in which the virus thrives in contaminated refuse and water. It exhibits almost the same conditions of other kinds of hepatitis.


Hepatitis E Diagnosis


Hepatitis E is diagnosed during an outbreak. One can be identified with the virus during physical and medical examinations. Strains of the virus can also be found in one's infected blood sample.


Hepatitis E Symptoms and Signs


Among the symptoms of Hepatitis E are fatigue, enlarged liver and spleen, as well as jaundice. Yellowish skin and irises can be evident in persons with the disease.


Hepatitis E Treatment


Vaccines are given to prevent the spread of hepatitis. Foreigners are likewise advised to take hepatitis vaccines before traveling to another country to keep them immune from the disease. Immunoglobulin and certain proteins are thus injected to the blood serum to treat the Hepatitis E.
