Wikipedia: Hepatitis A does not have a chronic stage and does not cause permanent liver damage. Following infection, the immune system makes antibodies against the hepatitis A virus that confer immunity against future infection. The disease can be prevented by vaccination and hepatitis A vaccine has been proved effective in controlling outbreaks worldwide. The Death Rate from HAV is less than 1%.
Early symptoms of hepatitis A infection can be mistaken for influenza, but some sufferers, especially children, exhibit no symptoms at all. Symptoms typically appear 2 to 6 weeks, (the incubation period ), after the initial infection. Symptoms can return over the following 6-9 months which include: * Fatigue * Fever * Abdominal pain * Nausea * Diarrhea * Appetite loss * Depression * Jaundice, a yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes * Sharp pains in the right-upper quadrant of the abdomen * Weight loss * Itching
