Symptoms include flu-like symptoms, gastrointestinal disorders, as well as yellowing of the skin, whites of the eyes and mucous membranes. Hepatitis A usually starts suddenly and its course is severe.

The disease is transmitted by the faecal-oral route. It also spreads as a result of sexual contact, often among men who have sexual relations with other men.

The most effective way to prevent hepatitis A infections is vaccination. Vaccination is recommended for anyone who has not had hepatitis A and has not been vaccinated.
