Hepatitis is a medical condition characterized by the inflammation of the liver. Major causes are viral infections with hepatovirus A, B, C, D, and E and other factors such as excessive alcohol consumption, autoimmune disorders, certain medications or toxins. Infected patients suffer from impaired liver function accompanied by a range of other symptoms like fatigue, jaundice, abdominal pain and loss of appetite. Each type of viral hepatitis (hepatitis A-E) is caused by one of the respective hepatoviruses which result in a set of unique diseases witch each hepatic disease being characterized slightly different in term of modes of transmission, potential for chronicity, severity of liver damage, and available preventive measures and treatments.

Hepatitis E is a viral hepatitis that mainly caused by infection.
There are five major types of viral hepatitis. The diseases, along with the antigen-antibody tests available to aid in diagnosis, are described
Viral hepatitis has become a major public health problem throughout the world affecting hundreds of millions of people. Currently, the World Health Organization (WHO) has listed hepatitis virus as one of the important threats to global public health. Viral hepatitis is inflammation of the liver caused by a viral infection. At present, the global situation of viral hepatitis prevention and control is still grim, among which the incidence of hepatitis B and hepatitis C is particularly prominent.

Hepatitis A
Viral: all hepatitis infections are caused by a virus.
Hepatitis B is a viral, bloodborne infectious agent.
