Hepatitis is actually quite a general term which means inflammation of the liver and so has many causes for example drug-induced, alcoholic, autoimmune or infectious.
On the whole when most people refer to hepatitis they refer to infectious hepatitis often caused by the hepatitis viruses types B & C which have the potential to cause long term (chronic) hepatitis. There are other forms of the hepatitis virus family including types A, D & E and there are other forms of virus which can cause hepatitis.
There are non-viral infectious causes of hepatitis including toxoplasma and Q fever (which is a bacteria) but these are rare.
