Viral hepatitis is a systemic viral infection affecting the liver, with several types including A, B, C, D, E, and G, each having distinct transmission modes and clinical manifestations. Hepatitis A is primarily transmitted via fecal-oral routes, while Hepatitis B and C are primarily bloodborne, leading to serious liver diseases including hepatocellular carcinoma. Management typically involves supportive treatment, vaccines for prevention, and antiviral therapies for chronic cases, particularly for Hepatitis B and C.
