Question

What is Hepatitis?

Answer

'Hepatitis' means inflammation or swelling of the liver. It can be caused by chemicals or drugs, or by different kinds of viral infections.

Infection with one type of hepatitis virus does NOT give protection against infection with other hepatitis viruses.

There are a number of different hepatitis viruses: A, B, C, D, E. They are all completely different; they cause different illnesses and may require different treatments.
