Question: what should i know about the hepatitis c virus?
Answer: hepatitis c infection is a disease caused by a virus that infects the liver. this liver infection becomes a continuing (chronic) condition in most patients. patients with chronic hepatitis c infection may develop cirrhosis liver cancer and liver failure. the virus is spread from one person to another by contact with the infected person's blood. you should talk to your health care provider about ways to prevent you from infecting others.

Question: what are the effects of alcohol on hepatitis b virus?
Answer: agents that damage the liver are particularly harmful in patients who already have hepatitis b. for this reason it is recommended that persons with hepatitis b avoid drinking alcohol.

Question: how is the hepatitis b virus spread (transmitted)?
Answer: hepatitis b is spread mainly by exposure to infected blood or body secretions. in infected individuals the virus can be found in the blood semen vaginal discharge breast milk and saliva. hepatitis b is not spread through food water or by casual contact. in the united states sexual contact is the most common means of transmission followed by using contaminated needles for injecting illicit drugs tattooing body piercing or acupuncture. additionally hepatitis b can be transmitted through sharing toothbrushes and razors contaminated with infected fluids or blood. hepatitis b also may be spread from infected mothers to their babies at birth (so-called 'vertical' transmission). this is the most prevalent means of transmission in regions of the world where hepatitis b rates are high. the rate of transmission of hepatitis b from mother to newborn is very high and almost all infected infants will develop chronic hepatitis b. fortunately transmission can be significantly reduced through immunoprophylaxis. rarely hepatitis b can be transmitted through transfused blood products donated livers and other organs. however blood and organ donors are routinely screened for hepatitis which typically prevents this type of transmission.

Question: what about co-infection with hepatitis b virus and hepatitis c virus?
Answer: hepatitis c is caused by a virus that is spread through contaminated needles or blood products and less commonly through sexual intercourse. about 10% of patients with chronic hepatitis b also are co-infected chronically with hepatitis c virus (hcv). the two viruses interfere with each other and one usually predominates. if hepatitis c is the predominant infection treatment is directed against the hepatitis c. patients infected with both viruses are at higher risk for complications of liver disease. there is no effective vaccine against hepatitis c. persons with hepatitis c should be vaccinated against hepatitis b to prevent co-infection.

Question: what are the effects of immunosuppressive medications on hepatitis b virus?
Answer: even in people with chronic hepatitis b the immune system is working to suppress the virus. medications that suppress the immune system allow the virus to reproduce in large numbers and may cause the hepatitis to flare. examples of medications that suppress the immune system are: prednisone: used to treat many diseases including asthma inflammatory bowel disease and certain types of skin disease and arthritis. methotrexate (rheumatrex trexall): used to treat certain types of skin disease arthritis and cancer. cyclophosphamide (cytoxan): used to treat some cancers. if an immunosuppressant drug is stopped the body's immune system's activity may rebound and cause severe inflammation of the liver.

Question: are people who carry the hepatitis b virus but who do not have liver disease or hepatitis at risk for liver cancer?
Answer: the answer is probably yes. usually individuals at risk for developing liver cancer are those with cirrhosis (advanced liver disease with permanent liver scarring). in other words cirrhosis is a precancerous condition. in fact patients with cirrhosis regardless of the underlying cause are at increased risk of developing liver cancer for example patients with cirrhosis from chronic hepatitis c chronic hepatitis b hemochromatosis alcohol and fatty liver. some of these groups of patients should have periodic ultrasound examinations of the liver as well as blood tests for alpha fetoprotein (a blood test that is produced by liver cancers) to detect the development of liver cancer early. there is one group of patients without cirrhosis that is at risk of developing liver cancer; that group of patients has chronic infection with the hepatitis b virus. a typical patient would be somebody born with hepatitis b infection contracted from his/her mother at birth (common in asia). the baby's immature immune system does not recognize the hepatitis b virus as "foreign" and thus tolerates the virus. (the body's immune system does not wage war against the virus. ) the hepatitis b virus is able to multiply and flourish in the body without causing the hepatitis (liver inflammation caused by the immune system) that leads to cirrhosis. however the virus can damage the dna in the liver cells and cause liver cancer. these patients typically have high levels of hepatitis b virus in their blood but normal liver enzymes and normal liver biopsies. such patients should have ultrasound examinations of the liver and alpha fetoprotein blood tests every six months to look for developing liver cancers.

Question: is it true that the hepatitis c virus cannot survive for more than two hours outside the human body?
Answer: no. the hepatitis c virus is transmitted from person primarily though not exclusively in blood products primarily by the transfer of blood between intravenous drug abusers who share needles. in blood -- inside or out of the body -- the virus can live for weeks months and even years. that is why hepatitis c was a problem related to blood transfusion until tests were developed to diagnose its presence in blood so that persons or units of blood for transfusion that were infected with the virus could be detected.

Question: what is the prognosis of viral hepatitis?
Answer: the prognosis of viral hepatitis for most patients is good. symptoms of viral hepatitis such as fatigue poor appetite nausea and jaundice usually subside in several weeks to months without any specific treatment. in fact virtually all patients with acute infection with hepatitis a and most adults (greater than 95%) with acute hepatitis b recover completely. complete recovery from viral hepatitis means the hepatitis virus has been completely eliminated from the liver by the body's immune system. the inflammation in the liver subsides. the patient develops immunity to future infection with the same virus. the patient cannot transmit the infection to others. unfortunately not all patients with viral hepatitis infections recover completely. five percent of patients with acute hepatitis b infection and 80% of patients with acute hepatitis c infection develop chronic hepatitis. acute viral hepatitis needs no specific treatment. patients who develop chronic infection have chronic viral hepatitis and often need treatment to prevent further liver damage.

Question: who is at risk for viral hepatitis?
Answer: people who are most at risk for developing viral hepatitis are workers in the health care professions people with multiple sexual partners intravenous drug users and hemophiliacs who receive blood clotting factors. blood transfusion once a common means of spreading viral hepatitis now is a rare cause of hepatitis. viral hepatitis is generally thought to be as much as 10 times more common among lower socio-economic and poorly educated individuals. about one third of all cases of hepatitis come from an unknown or unidentifiable source. this means that you don't have to be in a high risk group in order to be infected with a hepatitis virus.

Question: what is chronic viral hepatitis?
Answer: patients infected with hepatitis b and hepatitis c can develop chronic hepatitis. doctors define chronic hepatitis as hepatitis that lasts longer than 6 months. in chronic hepatitis the viruses live and multiply in the liver for years or decades. for unknown reasons these patients' immune systems are unable to eradicate the viruses. the viruses cause chronic inflammation of the liver. chronic hepatitis can lead to the development over time of extensive liver scarring (cirrhosis) liver failure and liver cancer. liver failure from chronic hepatitis c infection is the most common reason for liver transplantation in the united states. patients with chronic viral hepatitis can transmit the infection to others.

Question: what is viral hepatitis?
Answer: hepatitis means inflammation of the liver. many illnesses and conditions can cause inflammation of the liver for example drugs alcohol chemicals and autoimmune diseases. many viruses for example the virus of mononucleosis and the cytomegalovirus can inflame the liver. most viruses however do not primarily attack the liver; the liver is just one of several organs that the viruses affect. when doctors speak of viral hepatitis they usually are referring to hepatitis caused by a few specific viruses that primarily attack the liver. there are several hepatitis viruses; they have been named types a b c d e f (not confirmed) and g. as our knowledge of hepatitis viruses grows it is likely that this alphabetical list will become longer. the most common hepatitis viruses are types a b and c. the liver is located in the upper righthand side of the abdomen mostly behind the rib cage. the liver of an adult normally weighs close to 3 pounds. the liver performs the following vital functions: the liver helps purify the blood by changing harmful chemicals into harmless ones. the source of these chemicals can be external such as medications or alcohol or internal such as ammonia or bilirubin. typically these harmful chemicals are broken down into smaller chemicals or attached to other chemicals that then are eliminated from the body in the urine or stool. the liver produces many important substances especially proteins that are necessary for good health. for example it produces albumin the protein building block of the body as well as the proteins that cause blood to clot properly. the liver stores many sugars fats and vitamins until they are needed elsewhere in the body. the liver builds smaller chemicals into larger more complicated chemicals that are needed elsewhere in the body. an example of this type of function is the manufacture of cholesterol. when the liver is inflamed it does not perform these functions well which brings about many of the symptoms signs and problems associated with hepatitis.

Question: what are the symptoms and signs of viral hepatitis?
Answer: the period of time between exposure to hepatitis and the onset of the illness is called the incubation period. the incubation period varies depending on the specific hepatitis virus. hepatitis a has an incubation period of about 15-45 days; hepatitis b from 45-160 days and hepatitis c from 2 weeks to 6 months. many patients infected with hepatitis a b and c have few or no symptoms of illness. for those who do develop symptoms of viral hepatitis the most common are flu-like symptoms including: loss of appetite. nausea. vomiting. fever. weakness. tiredness. aching in the abdomen. less common symptoms include: dark urine. light-colored stools. fever. jaundice (a yellow appearance to the skin and white portion of the eyes).

Question: what are the treatments for chickenpox?
Answer: most of the treatments for chickenpox are aimed at decreasing the symptoms such as severe itching. acetaminophen can be used to decrease the fevers and aches often associated with the initial presentation of the viral infection. children should never be given acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) or aspirin-containing cold medications because of the risks for developing reye's syndrome (a severe acquired metabolic disease associated with liver and brain dysfunction and death). frequent oatmeal baths can decrease the itching associated with chickenpox. in addition soothing lotions and moisturizers such as calamine lotion or any other similar over-the-counter preparation can be applied to the rash. diphenhydramine or other antihistamines can be helpful in controlling the itching. always discuss these treatment options with your health-care practitioner. in addition to medications there are also preventive measures that are needed. for young children it is important to keep nails trimmed in order to minimize injury from scratching and to control the risks for secondary bacterial infections. lastly in some cases of chickenpox acyclovir can be prescribed. acyclovir is an antiviral medication that has been used to shorten the duration of the infection. this medication has only been shown to be effective if started within one to two days of the onset of the rash associated with chickenpox. most commonly this treatment is reserved for patients with other diagnoses that put them at risk for severe disease (severe skin diseases immunodeficiency).
Tags: chickenpox
Question: what are the possible complications of chickenpox?
Answer: complications can and do occur from chickenpox. infection of the open pox sore by bacteria can injure the skin sometimes causing scarring especially if the patient scratches the inflamed area. bacterial skin infection is in fact the most common complication of chickenpox in children. the next most common complications in children affect the central nervous system and include a disorder of the cerebellar portion of the brain (cerebellar ataxia with wobbliness dizziness tremor and altered speech) encephalitis (inflammation of the brain with headaches seizures and decreased consciousness) damaged nerves (nerve palsies) and reye's syndrome a potentially fatal combination of liver and brain disease that can be associated with aspirin. (children with fever should not take aspirin. ) especially serious complications can occur in patients with aids lupus leukemia and cancer. complications also occur in people taking immune-suppressing drugs such as cortisone-related medications. newborn infants whose mothers have chickenpox in the last trimester of pregnancy are at increased risk from the disease. if the mother develops the disease from five days before to two days after delivery the fatality rate for the baby is up to 30%.

Question: what causes chlamydia?
Answer: chlamydia is caused by the bacterium chlamydia trachomatis. the disease is spread by oral vaginal or anal sex and if you touch your eyes with a contaminated hand you may also develop conjunctivitis. chlamydia can be passed during vaginal birth to the infant. there is some evidence to support that untreated chlamydial infections in pregnancy can lead to premature delivery.

Question: is it possible to get chlamydia from a tattoo? . i was recently diagnosed but the doctors say it is impossible to have had it for the 2+ yrs i have been with the same man. we use condoms every time. he hasn't been tested yet but i highly doubt he has it. i did just get a tattoo and now i question how clean the shop wasn't. could i have picked chlamydia up from a dirty tattoo shop?
Answer: no chlamydia is sexually-transmitted. you cannot get it from having a tattoo. you can get hepatitis b from an unclean tattoo facility but not chlamydia.

Question: can you get chlamydia by using someone towel that is infected with chlyamydia?
Answer: theoretically it guess it would be possible if the towel was still wet from chlamydia and you wiped a very sensitive area but why would you be using someone's wet towel? chlamydia is a sexually-transmitted disease and in overwhelming number of cases this is the only way that it spreads. babies can get chlamydia in their eyes if mother had it in her vagina during delivery but otherwise people tend to get chlamydia the old fashioned way - through sexual contact.
Tags: chlamydia
Question: what causes chlamydia?
Answer: chlamydia infection is caused by the bacterium chlamydia trachomatis. it is spread during vaginal anal or possibly oral sex with an infected partner. a pregnant woman may spread the infection to her newborn during delivery. you can spread chlamydia even if you do not have symptoms of infection. you can spread the infection until you have been treated. webmd medical reference from healthwise this information is not intended to replace the advice of a doctor. healthwise disclaims any liability for the decisions you make based on this information. © 1995-2011 healthwise incorporated. healthwise healthwise for every health decision and the healthwise logo are trademarks of healthwise incorporated.

Question: how is chlamydia treated?
Answer: chlamydia can be cured with antibiotics and it does not cause long-term problems if it is detected and treated early. however it can also lead to many complications if left untreated. people at risk are those who have positive chlamydia tests sex partners within the last 60 days of people diagnosed with chlamydia-even if they do not have symptoms and newborn babies of women who have chlamydia at the time of delivery.

Question: does colon cancer occur in inflammatory bowel disease?
Answer: the risk of developing colon cancer is 20 times higher for patients with inflammatory bowel disease than it is for the general population. the association with colon cancer is more clearly established in ulcerative colitis than in crohn's disease. an increased risk most likely also exists however for patients with crohn's disease that affects the colon. in ulcerative colitis the risk of acquiring colon cancer increases according to how much of the colon is involved and the duration of colitis. thus after about eight to 10 years of ulcerative colitis especially if the entire colon is involved the risk of developing colon cancer substantially increases. other risk factors for colon cancer in ibd patients include a liver disease called primary sclerosing cholangitis a family history of colon cancer and a history of liver transplantation. additional possible risk factors include the use of concurrent immunosuppressive medications and a deficiency of the vitamin folic acid.
