A and E biography, A and E discography
Two of the viruses that cause hepatitis (hepatitis A and E) can be transmitted through water and food; hygiene is therefore important in their control.Among the infectious causes, hepatitis A and hepatitis E are associated with inadequate water supplies and poor sanitation and hygiene, leading to infection and inflammation of the liver.The illness starts with an abrupt onset of fever, body weakness, loss of appetite, nausea and abdominal discomfort, followed by jaundice within a few days.Outbreaks of hepatitis E have occurred in Algeria, Bangladesh, China, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran, Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, Mexico, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Somalia, and the Central Asian republics of the CIS.In these cases mortality is highly correlated with increasing age, and survival is uncommon over 50 years of age.Among patients with chronic hepatitis B or C or underlying liver disease, who are superinfected with hepatitis A virus, the mortality rate increases considerably.Improved economic and sanitary conditions may lead to a higher disease incidence in older age groups, with higher reported rates of clinically evident hepatitis A.Reviewed by staff and experts from the cluster on Communicable Diseases (CDS) and the Water, Sanitation and Health unit (WSH), World Health Organization (WHO).MoreRed CarpetCool StuffPhotosPhotosThe Big PictureFashion PoliceTrend SpyParty PicsFaces in the NewsMoviesVideosGossipThe HumThe Awful TruthWatch with KristinPlanet GossipH'wood Party GirlAsk the Answer B!Lift Gamemystyle BlogRed CarpetSAGs 2008Golden Globes 2008Grammys 2008Emmys 2007Oscars 2007Grammys 2007SAGs 2007Golden Globes 2007MoviesReviewsThe Lyons DenReel GirlSundance 2008E!Keeping Up withthe KardashiansKimoraLive from the Red CarpetThe Simple LifeSnoop Dogg's Father HoodThe SoupSunset TanYo on E!His body was reportedly discovered when the housekeeper went to tell him his masseuse had arrived.Story unfolding, details to come...She's due in court Wednesday a.Will Tom Brady Face Defeat?Vine Show: Terminator Stars Answer You, and We Enter the Land of the Lost!Who cares about Sundance, anyway?Why are Idol winners tanking?Norbit Leads Oscar Pack with Eight Nominations!
