Mission: Transmission
Make sure to wash your hands, as this hepatitis virus has a fecal-oral transmission
What is Hepatitis A? (or E)
This viral hepatitis is the most common case of acute hepatitis worldwide
What is Hepatitis A?
This public health intervention has made hepatitis A infection less common among children in the United States
What is vaccination?
This chronic complication of viral hepatitis commonly presents with ascites, jaundice, and portal hypertension
What is liver cirrhosis?
This viral infection is typically ACUTE and self-limited
What is Hepatitis A? (Hepatitis E has a mild self-limited disease course)
Hepatitis C has a transmission via this route
What is blood? (associated with injection use)
This region of the world has one of the highest incidences of hepatocellular carcinoma due to endemic viral hepatitis
Where is Southeast Asia? (aflatoxin is a huge driver)
This non-Hepatitis B virus can be prevented with the Hepatitis B vaccine
What is Hepatitis D?
Hepatitis B has several extrahepatic manifestations including a strong association with this renal manifestation.
What is membranous nephropathy?
This hepatitis virus may initially present asymptomatically or with symptoms similar to serum like sickness
What is Hepatitis B (arthralgia, fever, rash)
This viral hepatitis is transmitted parentally, sexually, and perinatally
What is Hepatitis B? (Otherwise known as blood, bedroom, and birthing)
This zoonotic hepatitis virus has animal reservoirs including pigs, monkeys, and dogs
What is hepatitis E?
Uhoh, there's currently no vaccine available for this hepatitis virus!
What is Hepatitis C? (or E)
Hepatitis C has several extrahepatic manifestations including a strong association with this renal manifestation.
What is membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis?
Approximately 75–85% of infected individuals develop chronic disease with this virus
What is Hepatitis C?
You have a higher chance of transmitting Hepatitis B due to this marker indicating higher infectivity
What is HBeAg?
Up to 2% of the US population has chronic infection with this hepatitis virus
What is Hepatitis C?
The Hepatitis B recombinant vaccine is derived from this viral antigen.
What is HBsAg?
Patients with this Hepatitis D condition have markedly increased risk of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma
What is Hepatitis D superinfection? (Co-infection usually resolves)
Pregnant individuals are at increased risk of acute liver failure from this hepatitis virus
What is Hepatitis E?
This serologic marker indicates that Hepatitis D is no longer transmittable
What is anti-HBs? (not a serologic marker but undetectable HDV RNA indicates resolution)
Travel to these endemic areas accounts for about half of US cases of Hepatitis A infection
What are endemic tropical and subtropical areas?
This viral hepatitis vaccine is a killed/inactivated form of the pathogen
This NON-intermittent dermatologic condition characterized by blistering photosensitivity is associated with chronic HCV infection
What is porphyria cutanea tarda?
Approximately half of all hepatocellular carcinoma cases worldwide are caused by infection with this virus
What is Hepatitis B?
