Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver resulting from viruses, drugs, and/or toxins. Viral hepatitis can be due to one of at least five different viruses. Most cases are caused by hepatitis A virus (HAV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), or hepatitis C virus (HCV).

HAV is the most common cause of hepatitis in children and adolescents in the United States and is spread most commonly by fecal-oral exposure.

HBV produces several antigens including surface and core when it infects the liver. Following exposure, the body normally responds by producing antibodies to each of these antigens. In the U.S., sexual transmission accounts for 30% to 60% of new cases of HBV infection (1)

HCV is the most common cause of post-transfusion hepatitis; overall HCV is responsible for 15% to 20% of all cases of acute hepatitis, and is the most common cause of liver transplant (2) HCV is spread exclusively through exposure to infected blood or body fluids.
