Hepatitis is a viral infection that primarily affects the liver, leading to inflammation and potential damage. There are several types of hepatitis viruses, including Hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E, each with different modes of transmission and severity. Chronic infections, particularly with Hepatitis B and C, can lead to serious complications such as cirrhosis and liver cancer. Vaccines are available for Hepatitis A and B, but there is no vaccine for Hepatitis C.
