B3: Hepatitis

Hepatitis encompasses several types, including Hepatitis A, B, and C, each with distinct characteristics, transmission methods, and health impacts. Hepatitis C often leads to chronic conditions and can progress to cirrhosis or liver complications, necessitating treatment protocols like Ribavirin and interferon alpha.
