Hepatitis A is a virus (HAV) liver illness. The virus spreads mainly when an uninfected (and unvaccinated) individual ingests food or water contaminated with an infected person's faeces. The illness is strongly linked to unsafe water or food, bad sanitation, bad personal hygiene, and oral-anal sex.
Hepatitis A, unlike hepatitis B and C, does not cause chronic liver disease and is rarely deadly, but can lead to debilitating symptoms and fulminant hepatitis (acute liver failure), which is often deadly. Overall, the World Health Organization estimated that 7,134 people died from hepatitis A worldwide in 2016 (representing 0.5% of death from viral hepatitis).
