Supplementary notes

* Viral hepatitis is liver inflammation due to a viral infection. It may present in acute form as a recent infection with relatively rapid onset, or in chronic form. It is also considered a sexually transmitted disease. It is transmitted by fecal-oral and parenteral pathways, either through contaminated water or food, or through sexual contact or contamination with infected blood (transfusions, wounds, contaminated syringes).
