    This document summarizes key details about hepatitis A, B, C and D. Hepatitis A is typically acquired through the fecal-oral route and causes acute infection with symptoms of non-bloody diarrhea and mild liver enzyme elevation. Hepatitis B can be acquired through blood or other bodily fluids and can cause either acute or chronic infection depending on immune status. Hepatitis C is acquired through blood exposure and leads to chronic infection in most cases with few or no symptoms. Hepatitis D only infects individuals already infected with hepatitis B and can worsen the course of disease.
