Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been having high fever that won't go down. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they said it was a viral infection. What kind of infectious disease did I get? What are the transmission routes of viral hepatitis?Doctor's answer:
The spread routes of viral hepatitis depend on whether it is type A, B, or C hepatitis. Generally, the most common types of hepatitis are hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and hepatitis A. Hepatitis A is primarily spread through the fecal-oral route, also known as dietary spread. Hepatitis B is mainly transmitted through blood and close personal contact. Hepatitis C is mainly spread through surgical procedures. If you want to implement preventive measures, it is first necessary to understand what type of hepatitis the patient has. Targeted prevention efforts will be more effective.
