Hepatitis A (Viral Hepatitis) | Virus, Risk Factors, Pathophysiology, Signs & Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment

Hepatitis A is a viral infection caused by the hepatitis A virus, which is an RNA virus from the picornaviridae family of viruses. Hepatitis A causes acute liver inflammation, and it affects millions of people worldwide each year. Hepatitis A virus can be contracted through consumption of contaminated water and food and by close contact to an infected individual. Once a patient has ingested the virus, it takes approximately 2-6 weeks for incubation and subsequent onset of signs and symptoms to occur. In this lesson, we discuss the signs and symptoms of a Hepatitis A infection, along with how clinicians diagnose and treat it.
