Hepatitis A

n. non-serious viral disease which is not usually persistant in the blood and is transmitted through the consumption of contaminated food or water

Hepatitis A (formerly known as infectious hepatitis) is an acute infectious disease of the liver  caused by the hepatovirus hepatitis A virus. Most commonly transmitted by the fecal-oral route, such as contaminated food, hepatitis A does not typically have a chronic stage and does not cause permanent liver damage. The patient's immune system makes antibodies against the hepatitis A virus that confer immunity against future infection. A vaccine is available that will prevent infection from hepatitis A for at least ten years.[1]
