More than half of the infections are travel items
"Hepatitis A is one of the most common unwanted travel souvenirs," said liver expert Dr. Karl-Georg Simon from the professional association of established gastrointestinal physicians. According to the information, more than half of all infections with the hepatitis A virus are travel-related products in Germany. The pathogens are transmitted, inter alia, by contaminated drinking water or inadequately prepared foods. Many patients often do not know about their liver inflammation.

The liver does not hurt
According to the experts, the liver does not hurt. The complaints she causes are often unspecific. A simple check of the liver values ​​as part of a routine check at the family doctor can quickly clarify here. In healthy people, the disease usually heals after a while by itself. However, for older, ailing or concomitantly burdened people, the infection can be a risk to health. Recognizing hepatitis in good time can even be lifesaving in exceptional cases. Dr. Simon advises people who take holidays in warmer countries to get vaccinated. (Ad)
