Hepatitis A causes acute liver inflammation, and it affects millions of people worldwide each year. Hepatitis A virus can be contracted through consumption of contaminated water and food and by close contact to an infected individual. Once a patient has ingested the virus, it takes approximately 2-6 weeks for incubation and subsequent onset of signs and symptoms to occur.
