Hepatitis is a group of viral infections that affect the liver causing acute/chronic inflammation which eventually may lead to liver failure or cancer and ultimately death. The B, C, and D group are blood borne and/or sexually transmitted or by vertical transmission from mother to child. Hepatitis C viral infection (HCV) is notoriously known to cause chronic liver disease and the risk for liver hepatoma/cancer is much higher than for HBV.\nJust like most viral infections, there is no definite cure by antiviral or antibiotic therapy. However, some antiviral drugs such as lamivudine (sometimes used to treat HIV) may hold some promise but no definite cure. It is important to note that most people do not die eventually from chronic hepatitis since it is a chronic disease. They may die of other causes. If you are sexually-active, also consider protecting your spouse/partner from picking up the infection by using appropriate barrier methods. \n\nI would advice you go on a high carbohydrate diet/low protein diet; take multivitamins supplements. have your doctor keep an eye on your liver function tests say on a yearly basis. Most other drugs used as supportive therapy are fraught with bad side effects.

Nope.  The most common problem that I have seen with genital herpes is that when a woman has it and gives birth, if she has any evidence of an outbreak of it at time of delivery, doctors usually do a Csection to prevent the baby from getting it.  This is because occasionally (probably not too common) a baby will acquire it at birth and less often still have a serious problem.  I wouldn't want my wife having to face C sections like that.  It is a very traumatic way to have a baby and it tends to limit how many she will have.  Of course she could refuse the Csections and elect to see what happens.  She may well luck out and not have any serious herpes infections in her babies.  They aren't likely to get it, if she doesn't have an outbreak when they come out.

Some people can clear the virus naturally (immune system) and have evidence of past infection, but do not have ongoing viral replication (detectable hepatitis viral load).  In fact, most people infected as adults are able to clear the virus (about 85% clear the infection when infected as an adult).  Newborns and children are often unable to clear the infection, leading to risk of disease progression.\n\nThere are vaccines available for Hepatitis B so the numbers of new infections are declining.\n\nThere are treatments for Hepatitis B - these include Pegasys, a pegylated interferon medicine that is injected under the skin once weekly or oral agents.  The oral agents include Entecavir (Baraclude) or Adefovir (Hepsera).  A new agent is being studied - Telbivudine.\n\nThere are different types of Hepatitis B:  eAg-positive and eAg-negative.  This impacts how long patients receive treatment.  Typically eAg-positive patients are treated until the virus is no longer detectable plus about 6-12 months and then the medicine can be stopped.  eAg-negative patients usually are treated for life.\n\nTalk with your doctor to find more information.

Wonderful-Hepatitis E virus HEV is a single stranded positive series of RNAvirus od 7.5kb that causes enterically transmitted nonA and nonB hepatitis.The diagnosis of HEV infection can be made of serology identification of anti HEV antibodies, and also can be identified in stool of patients, through immuno electrono microscopy.Strain variation is varied in different parts of the world.HEV burma, HEV Mexico. Acute HEV infections is observed in developing countries.Sporadic cases in USA, travellers returning from endemic areas.

Nothing. The problem would be if it were in reverse.\nThe mother being Rh-, and the fetus is Rh+. Then the mother's body would view the fetus as a potential threat and begin building antibodies to this "foreign" body.\nThe first pregnancy is usually fine, as it takes the body a little while to build up those antibodies. Subsequent pregnancies are in danger, which is why a woman is given a shot of Gamma Globulin after the pregnancy, to counteract those antibodies.

There are side effects possible with any vaccine, although rare. People with egg allergy will NOT have issues with Hep A or Hep B vaccine, only with influenza (flu) or MMR (measles, mumps, rubella)

I do not know about an infection, but a premature baby may be qualified for SSI by very low birth weight.  My daughter was born at 27 weeks weighing 1 lb. 12 oz. and 13 1/4 inches.  I learned of this from the social worker at the children's hospital where my daughter was in the NICU.  \n\nShe is now 6 1/2 years old and has short-bowel (gut) syndrome, mild chronic lung disease, and is mildly mentally handicapped with a communication disorder.

Maybe it's a sign of pregnancy? It's known that that your immune system is lowered slightly during pregnancy in order to stop your body rejecting your unborn baby. This may mean that you are more vulnerable to infections, such as coughs, colds and flu.\n\nYou should never buy over-the-counter remedies without first checking with your GP or pharmacist that they are safe to take during pregnancy. Many aren't... but it's safe to take the recommended dose of paracetamol. However, you should avoid aspirin as it can affect your baby's development in the early weeks and, in late pregnancy, affect the onset and length of your labour. Ibuprofen, codeine and painkillers that contain a combination of drugs should be avoided, too.\n\nhttp://www.babycentre.co.uk/pregnancy/antenatalhealth/physicalhealth/coughdandcolds/

lf all  your liver enzymes are normal,then you have the passive and not active condition....ie you are a CARRIER.\nThe best thing is to let it be.But let your spouse/partner get the vaccination so that he/she does'nt get infected.\nWhen (if ever) your liver enzymes become abnormal,drug therapy with Zidovudine helps\nInterferron therapy is the last line of treatment.\nJust a tip--if you've been a healthy carrier for more than 3 years, chances are that you'll stay that way for the rest of your life.

Hepatitis, inflammation of the liver, usually due to acute viral infection. It occurs in several forms. Lifelong immunity to the causative virus usually follows an attack, but since several distinct viruses cause the disease—at least five are now known—immunity to one type does not confer immunity to the others.\n\nPreviously known as infectious hepatitis, hepatitis A is caused mainly by poor sanitation and lack of hygiene. It is transmitted by food or water contaminated by excreta; by other objects taken into the mouth; from person to person, including by sexual contact; or by injection with improperly sterilized hypodermic needles or needles shared by intravenous (IV) drug users. Outbreaks often occur in army or refugee camps and in institutions where small children are crowded together. Shellfish and uncooked food carry risk of infection. This form of the disease has become more common as a result of increased travel to countries where hepatitis A is common and where clean water and proper sewage disposal are not available. Hepatitis A is usually less severe than hepatitis B and patients generally recover within weeks, whereas hepatitis B can last for months.\n\nHEPATITIS B \n\nPreviously called serum hepatitis, hepatitis B can be transmitted by intimate sexual contact, as well as from a mother to a foetus or newborn baby. Hepatitis B is also transmitted by injections transporting a virus-bearing serum, most often during blood transfusion, by contaminated needles and syringes used medically or for injecting drugs, and by acupuncture or tattooing. The virus is also present in other body fluids, such as semen, vaginal fluid, saliva, and tears.\n\nHepatitis B can cause lifelong infection and lead to cirrhosis (scarring) of the liver, liver cancer, and liver failure. It causes more than 250,000 deaths each year worldwide with the highest incidence in Africa, south-eastern Asia, Alaska, China, and the Amazon. In 2000 there were 565 cases reported in the United Kingdom which, compared with the 1984 figure of 3,000, represents a decline—although many cases go unreported.\n\nIn 1965 Baruch Samuel Blumberg, an American research scientist, identified a viral component (known as the Australia antigen) that determines whether a sample of blood can transmit hepatitis B. All samples of blood intended for transfusion are now routinely tested for the antigen; this has greatly reduced the incidence of post-transfusion hepatitis.\n\nIn 1977 an Italian doctor, Mario Rizzetto, identified a virus—now called the delta hepatitis virus—that cannot replicate on its own and requires the presence of the hepatitis-B virus to be transmitted. The delta virus occurs worldwide and has caused major epidemics; this form of the disease, sometimes called hepatitis D, can also become chronic and lead to liver failure.\n\nHEPATITIS C, E, AND G \n\nThree more types of hepatitis have also been identified. Also known as non-A, non-B hepatitis, hepatitis C is mainly transmitted by infected blood and blood products, by contaminated syringes, or less commonly, in body fluids through sexual contact. It is caused by a virus that has now been cloned, and is the most common cause of post-transfusion hepatitis. About half of hepatitis C sufferers may suffer persistent infection. There is no vaccine available.\n\nHepatitis E is, like hepatitis A, transmitted in contaminated drinking water and can cause an epidemic form of the disease in tropical areas. There is no vaccine available. Hepatitis G virus is blood-borne; groups at risk include IV drug users and those who have been infected frequently with hepatitis C virus.\n\nSYMPTOMS \n\nSymptoms of all forms begin with fever, usually followed by extreme weakness, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and muscle pains. The upper abdomen may be painful and tender. Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of eyes) appears gradually, reaching maximum intensity at two weeks. Convalescence may take up to six months.

If you do not see any side effects count your blessings. We still do not know if that is the reason our 8 year old son (developmentall under 1) Has the problems he has. He is adopted and his mother tested hep B positive at birth so he was given I belive 2 mega hep B vacines plus I think a regular one also.

Sure. My spouse has Hepatitis C and we're still married and have a healthy sexual relationship. We're just extra careful to use condoms.

Its dangerous for an infant, because he/she has such small lungs and not a very good immune system. I'm not real sure what to do, but your doctor will be able to tell you. (yeah, its a dumb question to ask a doctor, but my sister did)\n\nGood luck with the rest of your pregnacy, and God bless.

Be cautious just in case I would say...\n\nI once was in Northern China with my husband and a whole group of Chinese-Singaporeans. We were told by our Chinese guide that we should not eat nor drink in restaurants (all kind of hepatitis A,B etc and all). The local population was not bothered though.\n\nBut us, Caucasians and Singoporean-Chinese alike were warned not to eat anything nor drink any water in restaurants. Just in case......and that was from a local Chinese guide.\n\nWe all had all our numerous shots before-hand though..but did not take the risk.\n\nSo, basically :  I don't know but better consult other expats over there..
