Definition

  1. 1
    Uno de los tres tipos principales de la hepatitis viral. Extrardinariamente frecuente en los países del tercer mundo. Prácticamente toda la población se inmuniza a temprana edad, sin manifestar signos clínicos de la enfermedad. Aunque la enfermedad deteriora severamente al enfermo por un periodo prolongado, la mortalidad es muy rara y no deja secuelas. Su transmisión es principalmente a través del agua contaminada con fecas humanas, y las verduras que entran en contacto con esta agua contaminada, algo común en países en los que las aguas de riego entran en contacto con desechos humanos.
