What are the symptoms of Hepatitis A and E?
Viral hepatitis may develop without clinical signs or symptoms, or patients may report nonspecific symptoms that appear for a short time with or without jaundice. When symptoms do occur, they may vary in severity from flu-like symptoms to liver failure. Early in the disease process some patients report arthralgia, fever, and rash. Later, patients may experience malaise, fatigue, myalgia, anorexia, weight loss, cough, abdominal pain, jaundice, dark urine, and light-colored stools.
