This disease commonly affects children and young adults. Spread of infection is mainly by the oro-fecal route and arises from the ingestion of contaminated water and food (e.g milk). Overcrowding and poor sanitation facilitate the spread. Infected person excretes virus in the feces for about 2 weeks before the onset of clinical illness and for up to 7 days after. http://doctor-tips-for-health.blogspot.com/2011/07/hepatitis-health-tips.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
