The main difference between hepatitis and jaundice is that hepatitis is the inflammation of the liver while jaundice is the discoloring of mucosa and skin.
Jaundice:
Jaundice can occur in many different diseases. Jaundice is caused by high levels chemical bilirubin in blood. The color of the skin and sclerae vary depending on the level of bilirubin. When the bilirubin level is mildly elevated, they are yellowish. When the bilirubin level is high, they tend to be brown.
Bilirubin comes from red blood cells.
Hepatitis:
Hepatitis is a general the term that means inflammation of the liver. The liver can become inflamed as a result of infection, a disorder of the immune system, exposure to alcohol, certain medications, toxins, poisons etc.
HEPATITIS A{HAV} is caused by a virus found in feces {people's stool}. you can get it by coming in contact with infected feces. the most common way is by swallowing food or liquids that are not washed thoroughly after using toilet. almost everyone infected with hepatitis a completely recovers about 4 to 8 weeks
HEPATITIS B{HBV} is caused by a virus that lives in body fluids that include blood semen, vaginal fluid and breast milk.
They all deal witht he same area but they get increasingly dangerous. C being the worst, be in the middle, and A the least harmful.
------------------
Hepatitis A can be contracted through the air and in things such as crawfish and other types of seafood. It is the least harmful of the 3.
Hepatitis B can be contracted through sex and other bodily fluids such as semen, vaginal secretions and breast milk.
Hepatitis C, although it is unclear, can be spread through blood to blood contact such as sharing needles for illicit drug use.
All 3 of these viruses affect the liver and can cause sufficient damage to it. Hepatitis A and B both have vaccines, while Hepatitis C does not.

Hepatitus a and b are two different diseases allthough they are extremely similar
Hepatitis A is generally from a food-borne vector, whereas Hepatitis B is most often contracted from direct blood contact (e.g. sharing IV needles).
Their main difference is their mode of transmission. Hepatitis A is fecal-oral while Hepatitis B is a blood-borne disease.
Chronic hepatitis B is a liver disease caused by a virus. Being a carrier of hepatitis B means that you are infected with the virus and can transmit it to others, but you may not have the disease
The causative agent for Hepatitis B is Hepatitis B virus.
There is no harm or benefit from giving hepatitis B vaccine to someone with hepatitis B.
Hepatitis is inflammation in the liver caused by the virus hepatitis B.
The hepatitis B illness is caused by the hepatitis B virus, a species of the genus Orthohepadnavirus.
There's a Hepatitis B vaccine that can prevent it.
Usually caused by hepatitis B virus.
Since Hepatitis B vaccine only protects against Hepatitis B, the only thing the vaccine controls is Hepatitis B infections.
Hepatitis B, hepatitis C and AIDS
It is a blood test.
