Is icteric hepatitis contagious

summary

When it comes to hepatitis, most people are afraid of its extremely strong infectivity. There are tens of thousands of types of hepatitis. Are all of them infectious? Let's take icteric hepatitis as an example to introduce some knowledge about infection.

Is icteric hepatitis contagious

First of all, we need to know that as long as it is hepatitis, it can be transmitted. The mechanism and mode of transmission of each hepatitis are different. As far as jaundice hepatitis is concerned, it does not spread all the time. It also has its own way of transmission.

Second: icteric hepatitis does not spread through the digestive tract and respiratory tract, so daily contact such as shaking hands, hugging, working together, eating and so on will not spread. The virus of icteric hepatitis can be eliminated through defecation, and transmitted to others through food contaminated by hands, water and flies.

Third: contact with patients with icteric hepatitis should pay attention to avoid skin, mucosal damage. Incomplete disinfection of dental fillings, face repairs, pedicures, medical instruments such as needles, oral instruments and endoscopes may also cause the spread of icteric hepatitis.

matters needing attention

Therefore, I would like to suggest that no matter whether we have hepatitis or not, we must pay attention to health in our life, not only for our own health, but also for others.
