SouthCoastToday.com: Hepatitis starts off similarly

SouthCoastToday.com: Hepatitis starts off similarly: "Hepatitis is liver-cell inflammation with death of some of the cells. It can come from poisons like carbon tetrachloride, from alcohol, from fat invasion of the liver, from some bacteria and from viruses, among which are the hepatitis A, B and C viruses. In the acute stages of hepatitis, all these causes produce a similar illness — yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice), great fatigue, loss of appetite, fever and profound mental fogginess. Sometimes the initial attack is so mild that the symptoms aren't appreciated. What happens after the initial illness is quite different for the different causes."
