About hepatitis A

Hepatitis A is a viral infection that causes inflammation of the liver. It spreads through contaminated food or water, or direct contact with someone who is infected. It usually takes 2 to 6 weeks from infection to symptoms.

Common symptoms include:

• Fever
• Nausea and vomiting
• Loss of appetite
• Dark urine
• Pale stool
• Stomach pain
• Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice)
• Diarrhoea is rare.

Hepatitis A does not cause chronic illness, but some people may feel sick for a longer time.

The illness usually goes away without treatment, but it's important to support your immune system by resting, eating well, and getting enough sleep.

The most important way to prevent illness and avoid spreading it is good hand hygiene. This helps prevent many types of infections.
