Lei’s Talk About Hepatitis
WHAT is hepatitis and what Causes It? Hepatitis is an infection and Inflammation of the liver. It Is caused by a virus which Usually enters the body by way •f the mouth. There Is another type of virus causes hepatitis. This one enters the body by a contaminated injection needle. Occasionally, §§ but rarely, infectious hepatitis can be traced to virus-infect-ed blood that was used for transfusion. • • • What are the symptoms of hepatitis? After a varying period of ineuhation there may be slight lever, up to 100 or 101 degrees F. With it comes a general feeling of weakness and marked loss of appetite. Many people have noticed a sudden distaste for cigarettes during this early period. Nausea, vague abdominal fains, headache, pains in the muscles and the joints, and a akin rash are some of the symptoms associated with hepatitis. These symptoms ^esemhle Symptoms of many other diseases, and .cannot, without further study, be interpreted as being definitely hepatitis. Within seven to ten days, a yellowish discoloration of the tann and the eyes usually appears. A dark brown color of the urine at this stage accompanies the jaundice of the skin so typical of hepatitis. • • • How can hepatitis be prevented? The key to all infectious hepatitis is contamination. Contamination of water, water supplies and shellfish taken
from these waters can be responsible. The United States Public Health Service forms a large dragnet around all sources of water and keeps under surveillance the possibility of contamination from sewage systems. An army of scientists protectively hover over the health of the nation. When a single case of hepatitis is reported, they descend on the area and immediately track down the source of the infection and establish defenses against its spread. More and more physicians and hospitals are using disposable needles. These, when once used, are immediately discarded. One injection, one needle. Blood used for transfusion Is taken from people who are rigidly questioned and inspected for the possibility that they may carry the hepatitis virus. • • • How is hepatitis treated? Rest is probably the single most important treatment for hepatitis. Drugs are used sparingly to control symptoms as they arise.' Antibiotics are of no particular value against a virus and are therefore used only if some added complication occurs. Alcohol is absolutely forbidden. The possibility of* a vaccine against hepatitis is on the horizon. Until it arrives, our best weapon is avoidance of contamination. - \ '* • • • SPEAKING OF YOUR HEALTH—Dogs are not the only carriers of rabies. Cats, monkeys and squirrels are common carriers, too.
