Is hepatitis B, C and D worse than usual in Quetta?

Dooram can't tell yet. Too few of Quetta's clinics reported in the last four weeks.

No figure from Quetta for hepatitis B, C and D in week 39.

In 3 of the last four weeks, fewer than half of its clinics sent a report, so a low count may only mean few reports. Dooram leaves out any week when fewer than half the clinics reported, and here too few weeks are left to compare.

What is hepatitis B, C and D?

Hepatitis B, C and D are virus infections of the liver. Hepatitis D only infects people who already have hepatitis B. Together they can cause lasting liver damage and liver cancer.

Signs
Many people feel nothing for years. Some get fever, tiredness, feeling sick, dark pee, pale poo, and yellow skin or eyes.
How it spreads
Through infected blood and body fluids: shared or unclean needles, unchecked blood transfusions, and sex. Hepatitis B also often passes from mother to baby at birth.
How to protect yourself
The hepatitis B vaccine also protects against hepatitis D. There is no hepatitis C vaccine. Avoid shared needles, insist on clean medical equipment, and use condoms.
Get medical help
Ask for a blood test if you might have been exposed. Medicines control hepatitis B and usually cure hepatitis C. Hepatitis D on top of hepatitis B is the most severe form.

Hepatitis B, C and D in every country Dooram reads ›

A reported case means someone reached a clinic and a form was filed, so these count reports, not everyone who was ill.
