Perhaps. But usually hepatitis is caused by a virus or a bacteria.
Hepatitis B is an infectious disease caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) of the Hepadnavirus family. It only has tropism for humans (only infects humans).
Hepatitis B is a viral infection. It is a virus. Only one virus causes Hepatitis B. It infects the liver. A vaccine exists to prevent it. It is blood borne. If you are in the same room with someone who has it, you will not catch it. Do not share needles, razors, or anything that could move their body fluids to you. Hepatitis B can be treated. Other liver infections exist. Hepatitis A generally results when an infected person prepares your food. Hepatitis C is blood borne. Anything one person does that gets body fluids from one person into another spreads the virus. Hepatitis D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, and M also exist. Those liver infections are caused by different pathogens. (I do not have the first idea about any of those diseases. Someone came back from Atlanta and passed on that information.)
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.
It is a acute or chronic liver infection caused by hepatitis A virus. To learn more, Visit Central BioHub.
