Hepatic viral diseases

Hepatitis refers to liver inflammation. The liver may become inflamed for a variety of reasons, including autoimmune illnesses, medications, alcohol, chemicals, and environmental toxins. The liver can become inflamed by a variety of viruses, including the cytomegalovirus and the mononucleosis virus. The liver is only one of the many organs that viruses damage; most viruses do not target it specifically. Hepatitis virus types A, B, C, D, E, F (unconfirmed), and G are among the many that exist. Types A, B, and C of hepatitis viruses are the most prevalent. Hepatitis viruses are frequently mentioned in abbreviated form; for instance, the abbreviations HAV, HBV, and HCV stand for the hepatitis A, B, and C viruses, respectively.
