HAV – IgG

Hepatitis A is a highly contagious virus causing acute liver infection, typically lasting a few weeks to months. While most cases resolve without chronicity, severe instances can lead to liver damage. Transmission occurs through the ingestion of contaminated food or water, primarily due to poor hygiene. Symptoms include fever, fatigue, nausea, and jaundice. Prevention involves vaccination, practicing good hygiene, and avoiding contaminated sources. Although rare, severe cases may necessitate supportive care, as there is no specific antiviral treatment. Public awareness and vaccination are vital for curbing the spread of this preventable disease.
