The 28th of July is recognized as World Hepatitis Day. With the ongoing pandemic that began in 2020, our whole focus has been on Covid-19, and we have somehow overlooked the threat and mishaps that Hepatitis can cause. “Hepatitis can't wait!” is the theme for World Hepatitis Day 2021. To make us all well aware about this condition, we have Dr Lovkesh Anand - Consultant – Gastroenterology of Manipal Hospitals.

Question: What is Hepatitis and what are its forms?

Answer: The term Hepatitis comes from two words, “Hepa” meaning liver and “it is” meaning inflammation. Thus, any inflammation or swelling of the liver is called as Hepatitis.

Question: Which kind or type of Hepatitis is more prevalent in kids?

Answer: Hepatitis is broadly classified as Acute Hepatitis & Chronic Hepatitis.

In Acute Hepatitis, the condition flares up suddenly and goes away. But in some rare cases it can also lead to either chronic hepatitis or can cause acute liver failure.

In Chronic Hepatitis, the condition is of long-term and might lead to permanent scaring , liver failure or even liver cancer.

Question: If a child is suffering from Hepatitis what are the symptoms?

Answer: There are 5 major types of Viral Hepatitis: Hepatitis, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Hepatitis D, and Hepatitis E. Out of these A & E are more commonly seen in children. B & C are chronic forms which can also be seen in both adults and kids but in severe cases.

HAV infection in children is typically an acute, self-limited illness, but this does not develop jaundice at all. It is present as fever, vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain, discomfort, and diarrhea.
