What is Hepatitis B and C?
Hepatitis is an infectious disease that is characterized by
the inflammation of liver. The hepatitis B and C are caused by hepatitis virus
B and C respectively. Both of these diseases are highly contagious and can
spread from a person to another person from:
- Exchange of bodily fluids
- From mother to child during child birth
- Intercourse
- Eating from the same utensils
- Using same spoons
Many experienced Hepatologists, liver specialists, and infectious disease specialists at NYU Langone suggest that people should get screening tests for hepatitis B and C even though they don’t have any symptoms because the symptoms show very late after a person has been exposed to these viruses.
