Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver. Certain drugs, some diseases, heavy alcohol use, bacterial and viral infections and toxins can all cause Hepatitis. Hepatitis is also the name of a family of viral infections that affect the liver; the most common types are Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B , and Hepatitis C. |

Sometimes. Although a majority of adults develop symptoms from acute Hepatitis B virus infection, many young children do not. Adults and children over the age of 5 years are more likely to have symptoms. Seventy percent of adults will develop symptoms from the infection. |
