Hepatitis A treatment in Ciudad de México

Hepatitis A is a liver infection caused by a virus that is transmitted mainly through contaminated water or food. Unlike other types of hepatitis, it usually resolves without becoming chronic.

How it presents: it may occur without symptoms or cause fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, yellowing of the skin and eyes, and dark urine.

When is a checkup advisable? When there is jaundice, persistent digestive discomfort, or a history of contact with an affected person.

Who treats it? The gastroenterologist and the internist assess liver function; the infectious disease specialist guides the management of the infection and, in children, the pediatrician supports the process. Seeking care promptly helps confirm the condition and take preventive measures within the household.
