Patient's question:
I have recently prepared to go to the hospital for a thorough examination. However, before the examination, I had a general understanding that my symptoms are somewhat similar to hepatitis C. Several years ago, I knew that my liver had been slightly problematic, with mild hepatitis, but recently I noticed that it seems to have worsened. I haven't been feeling very energetic lately, and a few days ago, I came into contact with someone who has hepatitis B. I don't know if I might have contracted this illness.Doctor's answer:
The incubation period of hepatitis E ranges from 10 to 60 days, with an average of 40 days. According to three domestic epidemiological surveys on the prevalence of hepatitis E, the incubation period is 15 to 75 days, with an average of 36 days. Adult infections are more commonly clinically diagnosed, while children are subclinically diagnosed. Clinical symptoms and liver function damage are more severe in clinically diagnosed cases. Generally, it is subclinically diagnosed. Clinical symptoms and liver function damage are more severe. It usually has an acute onset, with jaundice being common. More than half of the patients experience fever, accompanied by fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and liver area pain. In addition to symptomatic treatment, patients with hepatitis E need to pay attention to maintaining deep sleep in daily life. Sufficient deep sleep can help you recover more quickly from the disease.
