The six main different types of viruses that cause viral hepatitis, are:
1. Hepatitis A virus (HAV): This virus spreads through contaminated food or water. HAV causes acute or short-term hepatitis, and symptoms can last up to six months.
2. Hepatitis B virus (HBV): This virus is mostly transmitted through sexual contact or contact with infected blood, and it can cause both acute and chronic hepatitis. Chronic HBV can cause liver damage and increase the risk of liver cancer.
3. Hepatitis C virus (HCV): Transmission of this virus mostly occurs through sharing needles or other equipment for injecting drugs. It can cause both acute and chronic liver disease, and symptoms may take years to appear.
4. Hepatitis D virus (HDV): This virus can only infect people with HBV. When HDV infects someone with HBV, it can cause severe acute hepatitis.
5. Hepatitis E virus (HEV): This virus spreads similar to HAV and often causes acute hepatitis. It’s mostly found in developing countries but is becoming more common in developed countries as well.
6. Hepatitis G virus (HGV): This virus is transmitted through contact with infected blood, and it’s typically not considered a significant cause of hepatitis. However, some studies have found that HGV infection may worsen chronic HCV infection.
