Persons with hepatitis A can also spread the virus to household members and to sex partners. In rare cases, people have been infected after getting a transfusion of infected blood. Outbreaks of hepatitis A have also occurred among illegal drug users. The virus is not spread by casual contact, as in the usual work or school setting.
Because the virus can live in the environment for a long time, people can also get hepatitis A by:
Swallowing contaminated water or ice

Eating raw or undercooked shellfish harvested from sewage-contaminated water

Eating raw fruits, vegetables, or other foods that were contaminated during growing, harvesting, processing, or handling

Dark urine

Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes)

If symptoms do occur, they usually last less than 2 months, although 10% to 15% of persons have prolonged or relapsing disease that can last up to 6 months.
How soon after exposure do symptoms appear?
The average time between exposure to the virus and the development of symptoms is about 28 days. Signs of illness usually begin abruptly. Infected persons with no symptoms can still spread the virus. This often happens with young children who unknowingly spread hepatitis A virus to older children and adults.
How is hepatitis A diagnosed
Hepatitis A can be diagnosed by a blood test called IgM anti-HAV.

Anyone who has not already been infected with hepatitis A virus can become infected, but some people are at increased risk:
Persons who share a household or have sexual contact with someone who is infected with hepatitis A virus

Children and staff in child-care centers (especially centers where children are in diapers) where someone has hepatitis A virus infection

Residents and staff of institutions for developmentally disabled persons where someone has hepatitis A

Men who have sex with men

Persons who use street drugs

Workers who handle animals infected with hepatitis A virus or who work with hepatitis A virus in a research laboratory

What is the treatment for hepatitis A?
There is no treatment for hepatitis A infection. People usually recover on their own after 2 or 3 weeks of bed rest. Having had the disease produces lifelong protection against future hepatitis A virus infection.

How common is hepatitis A
In the United States, about 180,000 persons become infected with hepatitis A virus yearly, most from person-to-person contact. Outbreaks occur periodically in many American Indian, Alaska native, Pacific Islander, and some religious communities. These outbreaks occur mainly among young children.

Yes. Hepatitis A is the seventh most commonly reported infectious disease in the United States. It ranks sixth among the top ten causes of foodborne disease. Drug users have become an important source of community-wide outbreaks, and there has recently been an increase in hepatitis A in men who have sex with me
How can hepatitis A be prevented?

1. Hepatitis A vaccine provides long-term protection. The vaccine is licensed for use in persons 2 years of age and older. It must be given before exposure to the hepatitis A virus. Two shots are needed for long-term protection.

Hepatitis A vaccine is recommended for:

Persons who travel to or work in areas where hepatitis A is common. The first dose should be given at least  weeks before travel.

Children living in communities with high rates of hepatitis A, such as Alaska native villages, American Indian reservations, and Pacific Islander and some religious communities

Men who have sex with men

Persons who use street drugs

Persons with chronic liver disease

Persons with clotting factor disorders, such as hemophilia

Persons who work with animals infected with hepatitis A virus or who work with hepatitis A virus in a research setting

The vaccine is not recommended for children under age 2. Immune globulin is recommended in this age group for short-term protection.

. To prevent person-to-person spread, good personal hygiene and proper sanitation are important. Always wash hands with soap and warm water after using the toilet and changing a diaper and before eating or preparing food.

. Immune globulin is recommended for short-term prevention against hepatitis A in all age groups. Immune globulin is a sterile preparation of antibodies. Immune globulin shots can lower the risk of disease in close contacts, household members, and sex partners of infected persons. However, immune globulin must be given within 2 weeks of exposure to hepatitis A virus, and protection lasts only 3 to 5 months, depending on the dosage. Immune globulin is currently in short supply.

How much alcohol being consumed very important factor, and explained many of the researchers if there was an imperative need to be addressed it is possible that benefit health, but only if consumption is reasonable or a little of it which sets of quantities as follows:
Cup and one for women and two glasses for men per day, which weigh about 360 grams of rough beer, or 120-150 grams of wine. This is the maximum safe consumption of alcohol, at the same time can not be sure of the presence of individual differences like gender, weight and health status. The situation is negative or positive if there were Tadmnha other bad habits such as tobacco.

Since the liver works Kfeltr of the material passing through the body's cells and tissues and blood of course ... Since the liver is the place for the representation of alcohol and drugs, drinking alcohol in small quantities helps to represent it effectively. Though he could not understand the relationship of alcohol that they exert damage to the liver cells there is little doubt that the reason related to the process of metabolism in the liver cells, the higher the quantity consumed alcohol significantly as the risk of damage in liver cells that address these alcohol large too.
* Diseases associated with drinking alcohol:
liver disease
After drinking alcohol, the quantity of it is absorbed immediately through the stomach wall (so drinking affects the stomach empty more about whether addressed after meals) and the remainder analyzed by enzymes in the stomach or absorbed from the intestine and takes in the blood.

"But if damage to an extent scars and cystic Retreating does not help at this stage and that subsequent liver failure and death or planting a new member. When addressing the liver to large quantities of alcohol or exposure of tissue damage, it will not be processed medicines will not perform its functions effectively ... Others are helping to lift the rates of toxins in the liver over time and examples of these drugs address (Tylenol) when there is atrophy of the liver tissue and cells, if not degrade the drug can raise the levels of toxins in the body until the time at failure, and so there is no fibrosis and failure is to avoid the drugs (Tylenol).

The importance of proper nutrition in the first years of life in that it provides

Maturity and sound growth of physical and mental development.

Nutrition and the development and growth

The prevention of various diseases.

Acquisition of the child for healthy eating habits.

Child double weight upon reaching the fifth month, and it becomes three times its weight (when the birth) at the age of first year. If the weight of three kilograms at birth, for example, the normal-weight at the age of his first year is nine to ten grams Yellow ago.

over the length of the child at 25-30 cm in its first year, the largest percentage increase in length compared to other years old. In the second year long, between 13 and 14 cm, almost half the amount of the increase in the first tooth. The figure was down gradually so lacking in the range 5-6 cm in the fourth year and subsequent years until the child reaches the age of puberty where growth rate is accelerating again.

This is with regard to physical growth, and mental development is also a maximum Sirte in the first two years of age, and refers to the increase of head circumference of the child at this point.

Increasing head circumference 12-13 cm in the first year of life, most of almost any 90-10 cm in the months Satty first Akl at this stage to grow the quantity and quality, and increasing its size and increase the number of cells in the brain, the quantity and quality (qualitative) Petrki the work of these cells The parts inside the brain.

And also that an increase in head circumference by increasing the size of the brain and in other words, Tiger quantification of the brain, the development stages of child development and motor nerve shows the development and promotion of the brain qualitatively and qualitatively.

A child sits alone in the limits of the sixth month, and say the words FIRST (Papa, Mama ...) in the eighth month, and stands alone in the limits of the ninth month and taking the first steps in the tenth month ... And so on.
