Hepatitis A

March 16, 2021

If you have this infection, you have inflammation in your liver that’s caused by a virus. You don’t always get symptoms, but when you do, you might have:

• Jaundice (yellow eyes and skin, dark urine)
• Pain in your belly
• Loss of appetite
• Nausea
• Fever
• Diarrhea
• Fatigue
• Children often have the disease with few symptoms.

You can spread the hepatitis A virus about 2 weeks before your symptoms appear and during the first week they show up, or even if you don’t have any.
