Hepatitis A is a highly contagious liver infection caused by the Hepatitis A virus, characterized by inflammation of the liver. Although cases in the U.S. have decreased significantly due to vaccination, around 3,000 new cases still occur annually, often among travelers to regions where the virus is common. Symptoms may include fever, fatigue, abdominal pain, and jaundice, typically appearing 2 to 6 weeks post-infection. While most individuals recover completely without lasting damage, vaccination is recommended for children and high-risk groups as a preventive measure.

How easy is it to catch hepatitis A?

Hepatitis A usually spreads when a person unknowingly ingests virus from objects, food, or drinks contaminated by small, undetected amounts of virus in the feces (stool) from an infected person. Even consuming microscopic (tiny) amounts of feces can spread hepatitis A virus.

Does hepatitis A ever go away?

In areas of low endemicity (e.g., western Europe, the United States), infection is less common, but disease occurs among people in high-risk groups and as communitywide outbreaks.

What percent of people get hepatitis A?

Although the national incidence0.4 cases per 100,000 population, or 1,239 casesof hepatitis A was the lowest ever recorded in 2014, it is estimated that asymptomatic infections and underreporting kept the documented incidence rate lower than it actually is.
