Signs and symptoms of hepatitis A
It is possible to experience mild or no symptoms whatsoever, but even if this is the case the person’s faeces will still be infectious to others. Many people who become infected with HAV will have symptoms that include:
A short, mild, flu-like illness;
nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea;
loss of appetite;
weight loss;
jaundice (yellow skin and whites of eyes, darker yellow urine and pale faeces);
itchy skin;
abdominal pain.
Many people who become infected with HBV experience mild symptoms or no symptoms at all, but they may still carry the infectious virus and pass it on to others. When symptoms do appear they are similar to those of hepatitis A and may include:
A short, mild, flu-like illness;
nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea;
loss of appetite;
weight loss;
jaundice (yellow skin and whites of eyes, darker yellow urine and pale faeces);
itchy skin.
