Hepatitis refers to a condition in which the liver is inflamed, it can be causes by a number of different factors, including viruses. There are several hepatitis viruses, each one is distinct. Hepatitis A is vaccine preventable; it is a short-term (acute) infection and there is no cure. Hepatitis B is also vaccine preventable; it can be a short-term (acute) infection, but in cases where the immune system fails to fight off the initial infection it can become a long-term (chronic) infection. Chronic hepatitis B is not curable, but there are treatments available that can help manage viral progression and damage. Hepatitis C is NOT vaccine preventable; in some cases the immune system will fight off the initial infection, but most adults who are exposed to the hepatitis C virus will develop the chronic infection. While there is no vaccine for hepatitis C, there are medications that can get rid of the virus. Hepatitis D only occurs in combination with hepatitis B, therefore the vaccine for hepatitis B is also effective against hepatitis D.
