Hepatitis A and B are both viral infections that affect the liver but differ in transmission and prevention. Hepatitis A is primarily spread through contaminated food and water, and vaccination is effective in preventing it. In contrast, Hepatitis B is transmitted through blood, sexual contact, and from mother to child at birth; it can lead to chronic liver disease and is also preventable through vaccination. Both types can cause symptoms such as fatigue, jaundice, and abdominal pain, but Hepatitis B poses a greater long-term health risk.
