Recognize hepatitis type and his transmission

Hepatitis

Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver disease and is one of the health problems that occur in developing countries such as Indonesia. Lack of public awareness of self hygiene and the environment become cause of the occurrence disease is spread through bacteria and viruses.

"We've done various of activities including prevention, increase research, as well as cooperating with governments in several countries, but the most main is need for cooperation with the community. For that we conduct this seminar," said Prof. Dr. Tjandra Yoga Aditama as Director General of Disease Control and Environmental Health (DG P2PL) Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia.

In commemorating the 4th year of world hepatitis day, held seminars for increase the introduction of hepatitis in the community.

This seminar with the theme is 'Care for Hepatitis' Know, Prevent, and Treat is housed in the room building mena Prof J Adyatma MoH Block C 2nd floor, Jl HR Rasuna Said Kav Block X.5. 4-9 brass, Jakarta on Monday (08/04/2013).

Well, This are the types of hepatitis and his transmission:

1. Hepatitis A: Hepatitis A is an inflammation of the liver caused by the hepatitis A virus, including Picornaviridae which is an RNA virus. This virus characteristically are resistant to acidic, thermostable and resistant to bile. Transmission usually occurs by the fecal-oral (enter in the digestive tract through food and drink which contaminated feces sufferers hepatitis A virus).

2. Hepatitis B: Hepatitis B is a DNA virus. This virus beside infects humans, can also infect chimpanzees. hepatitis B virus can be found in body fluids (blood, saliva, sperm fluids and vaginal), but not all have high levels of virus which infectious. In general, can occur horizontally or vertically (at the time of transmission the perinatal, such as mother to her newborn child).

3. Hepatitis C: The cause of the disease Hepatitis C, is a genus that includes family Flaviviridea Hepacivirus and is RNA virus. Has 6 genotypes and more than 50 subtypes. Transmission through parenteral such as: joint use personal tools sufferers (toothbrushes, razors) also hypodermic needles that is not sterile.

4. Hepatitis D: Hepatitis D virus this is an RNA virus with a defect, meaning this virus is not able to be replicate with perfectly without the help of another virus, ie virus Hepatitis B. Transmission is with follows the journey of hepatitis B disease (parenteral), meaning if the virus Hepatitis B acute that suffered recover, then the VHD will also be lost.

5. Hepatitis E: Hepatitis E is caused by the Hepatitis E virus, a RNA virus which spherical shaped. This virus was initially is called as the cause of enterically transmitted non-A non-B Hepatitis (ET-NANB). VHE is transmitted through lane the fecal-oral. Drinking water which contaminated by feces is the most common transmission media.

Among the types of this virus that could potentially cause Extraordinary Events are virus of hepatitis A and E that caused by food poisoning.
