Is hepatitis A a virus or bacteria?
Hepatitis is inflammation in the liver caused by the virus hepatitis B.
What is the virus causing hepatitis?
The hepatitis virus is actually named that particular virus for which it refers to. For example, the virus for hepatitis B is called the hepatitis B virus (HBV), and the virus for hepatitis C is called hepatitis C virus (HCV), and so on.
How should patients be prepared for a hepatitis virus test?
Hepatitis virus tests require a blood sample. It is not necessary for the patient to withhold food or fluids before any of these tests, unless requested to do so by the physician.
What pathogens cause hepatitis b?
The causative agent for Hepatitis B is Hepatitis B virus.
Can Hepatitis B be transmitted through sweat?
The Hepatitus B virus can be caught from mucus or salival contact. So the answer is, yes.
What is the name of the pathogen that causes hepatitis C?
Hepatitis B is caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV). Hepatitis C is caused by the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). Hepatitis B virus belongs to the family Hepadnaviridae, and the genus Orthohepadnavirus. Hepatitis C virus belongs to the family Flaviviridae, and the genus Hepacivirus.
What is the comparison between hepatitis B and C and HIV?
Transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) can occur in health-care settings from percutaneous or mucosal exposures to blood or other body fluids from an infected patient or health-care worker. They also can be transmitted by sharing needles. The hepatitis virus affects the liver. The HIV virus can be transmitted the same way but affects the entire immune system.

Hepatitis virus comes under which type of virus?
Several diseases of the liver, collectively known as hepatitis, are caused by viruses. The viruses involved, five of which have been reasonably well characterized, come from a wide range of virus families. Hepatitis A virus is a picornavirus, a small single strand RNA virus; hepatitis B virus belongs to the hepadnavirus family of double stranded DNA viruses; hepatitis C virus is a flavivirus, a single stand RNA virus; hepatitis E, also an RNA virus, is similar to a calicivirus. Hepatitis D which is also known as Delta agent is a circular RNA that is more similar to a plant a viroid than a complete virus.
