Re: ILBS Hepatitis Day
On your concern I will let you know about Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences, Hepatitis Day so that you can remember. The Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences, Hepatitis Day aims to raise awareness of hepatitis B and hepatitis C diseases to levels seen in HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria the objective of campaign is to prevent new infections. Types Hepatitis A: An acute worry. Rarely fatal. Usually acquired through contaminated food and water. Vaccine available but costly. Hepatitis B: Biggest Killer world wide. Usually transmitted through body fluids: blood transfusion, unsterile needles, unsafe sex, mother to baby. Vaccine available, effective and affordable to common man. Hepatitis C: Cool Killer. Hepatitis C virus causes chronic disease which leads to cirrhosis and cancer in majority. Transmission is similar to Hepatitis B. No vaccine yet available. Treatment very costly and cannot be cured in most cases. Hepatitis D: Deadly double infection with Hepatitis B but never alone! Transmission is similar to Hepatitis B. Hepatitis E: Every where !
