According to the specialist, after the pandemic, there has been a notable increase in cases in the country, which reinforces the need for education and prevention. Types of hepatitis and modes of transmission There are five main types of viral hepatitis: A, B, C, D, and E, each with specific characteristics and routes of transmission: Hepatitis A and E: The most common in Chile, they are transmitted mainly through the consumption of contaminated water or food, such as spoiled seafood. Hepatitis B and C: They are spread through contact with blood and bodily fluids, including unprotected sex, unsafe blood transfusions, or sharing needles. Hepatitis D: It is exclusively associated with previous infection with the hepatitis B virus. Symptoms and asymptomatic cases The most common symptoms of hepatitis include: Extreme fatigue. Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes). Nausea and vomiting. Abdominal pain. However, it is important to note that many people may not present symptoms, which makes early diagnosis difficult and increases the risk of complications. Recommendations to prevent hepatitis Dr. Delgado stressed the importance of taking preventive measures to reduce the risk of infection, including: Avoid eating undercooked seafood: Boil it for at least 10 minutes and buy it only from certified stores. Use condoms: Especially during risky sexual relations, since unprotected sexual contact can promote the transmission of hepatitis B, C and bacteria such as Escherichia coli. Maintain proper hygiene: Wash your hands frequently, drink clean water and avoid sharing personal items such as toothbrushes or nail clippers. Regular check-ups: Carry out periodic medical check-ups to detect the disease in time, especially if you are in risk groups. A call to public awareness Finally, Dr. Delgado emphasized the need for education and prevention as key tools for #Canal9 #BioBioTV #canal9biobiotv #bbtv #canal9bbtv
