What is hepatitis A and E?

Hepatitis A and hepatitis E are infections that make the liver swollen and sore. Each is caused by its own virus. Most people get better completely.

Signs: Fever, tiredness, not wanting to eat, feeling sick or throwing up, tummy pain, dark pee, and yellow skin or eyes. Young children often have no signs at all.
How it spreads: Both come from eating food or drinking water that has the poo of an infected person in it. Dirty drinking water is a common cause, especially for hepatitis E.
How to protect yourself: Drink safe water, use clean toilets, and wash hands with soap. A vaccine protects against hepatitis A. A hepatitis E vaccine exists but only some countries use it.
Get medical help: See a doctor if your skin or eyes turn yellow or your pee turns dark. Pregnant women who fall ill need care quickly: hepatitis E can be very dangerous for them.
