• A large number of factors can cause hepatitis in adults. But drugs and viruses are the commonest causes in children. • They can be transmitted from mother to baby during pregnancy. The baby may then be a carrier of the virus. But, not all carriers of the virus will develop into hepatitis. • Hepatitis is contracted by drinking contaminated water. • If a person with Hepatitis handles food, eating this contaminated food can cause Hepatitis. • Hepatitis B and C are dangerous. Hepatitis B and C are seen among drug users who inject their drugs.
