What is Hepatitis E
Hepatitis E is a liver infection caused by the HEV virus, which primarily spreads through contaminated drinking water. It results in temporary liver dysfunction, jaundice, nausea, fatigue, and digestive issues. The infection is usually self-limiting, resolving within a few weeks without medical intervention. However, in pregnant women and immunocompromised individuals, the disease can lead to serious complications, including acute liver failure. Preventing Hepatitis E involves good hygiene practices, clean drinking water, and proper sanitation, especially in high-risk areas where outbreaks are common.
