Viral Hepatitis

Viral hepatitis is an infection of the liver by a virus. The liver becomes inflamed. Often it is tender and swollen.

The most common types of viral hepatitis are hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C. Each of these types of hepatitis is caused by a different virus. Another virus--the delta hepatitis virus--causes hepatitis only if you are already infected with hepatitis B.
