HEPATITIS A

Haiii semua semoga kalian sehat sehat saja….kemarin gue berkunjung ke salah satu rumah sakit di daerah gue tinggal, disitu gue nemuin suatu kasus yang sebenernya gak begitu WOW buat gue, karena udah biasa ketemu kalau di rumah sakit atau di lokasi kerja yaitu masalah Infeksi yang disebabkan oleh suatu mikroorganisme baik virus, bakteri dan konco-konconya. Dari situ gue jadi mikir kenapa penyakit yang sebenernya bisa dihindari dengan vaksinasi, personal  environment hygiene yang baik, dan perilaku hidup sehat  masih banyak terjadi di dunia ini khususnya Indonesia. Dari pikiran gue tersebut gue menarik suatu kesimpulan kalau ada yang salah dengan otak orang-orang di dunia ini perihal kesehatan, nahh kalo kita mau cari apa yang salah sama otak kita pasti ada lebih dari 1001 kesalahan, daripada itu gue mau share sekedar salah satu dari sedikit ilmu gue mengenai infeksi-infeksi yang terjadi di dunia ini khususnya yang diakibatkan oleh makanan. Karena gw lagi mood bahas tentang Hepatitis maka kita mulai dengan Penyakit legendaris yaitu HEPATITIS A.

Berhubung gue lagi ningkatin nilai toefl gue makanya gue kasih pengantar dengan bahasa Inggris ya, biar kita sama sama belajar. Okayyy Lets Start …….

When we found cases with infection, we fastly maintain our brain system with Smart assessment like, Determine the source and type food poisoning, how often after eating the system occur?, what was eaten in the pevious meal?, did the food have unsual smile and taste?, Did anyone else became ill after eat the same food?, Did vomiting and diarrhea occur?, are any neurogycal symptoms occur?, Does the patient have fever?, Whats the patient appearance?

Hepatitis  A

Hepatitis A ,also known as infectious hepatitis and yellow jaundice,is a viral infection of the liver. Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver.Unlike most other types of hepatitis, Hepatitis A invades the liver after it enters the body from the bowel by taking in infected food or water.

What the signs of Hepatitis A

The main sign is yellow skin( jaundice)due to a building up of the waste pigment bilirubin in the body. Another is darkening of the urine and pale faeces. A flu like illness may be noticed before the jaundice,including loss of appetite nausea, fever, muscle aches and pains. Some people may never have symptoms. It is diagnosed by a simple blood test.

How seirous is it?

Hepatitis A is usually a mild disease, especially in children,although some cases can be severe.Comple recovery is usual, but some people can be left with chronic hepatitis and liver damage.

How is it spread?

The virus is present in the bowel and is sread from person to person through close contactsuch as infected hands, towels and food, especially from contaminated water and shellfish.That is gets from contaminated faeces of the infected person to mouth of another.It may take 15-50 days after picking up the virus before the disease becomes evident, with 28 days being the average time. The patient is most infectious 2 weeks before and 1 week after the onset of jaundice. Hepatitis A is more likely to be contacted overseas in a third world country with poor hygiene.

How is the spread prevented

A few simple measures can stop the disease spreading to close contacts and family member these are Wash your hads carefully afterusing the toilet and disinfect them with antiseptic and also disinfect the bathroom doorknob, do not handle food with your fingers, do not share crockery and cutlery during meals, protect food from flies, do not use tea towels to dry dishes, all family members should wash their hands often and carefully, Normal diswashing and hot water laundering is sufficient to sterilize your crockery, cutlery,clothing and bed linen.
