Delhi Hepatitis A Outbreak Worsens
News summary

Delhi is experiencing a significant rise in Hepatitis A cases, attributed primarily to contaminated food and water, with AIIMS-Delhi issuing warnings about the importance of vaccination, proper hygiene, and access to clean water. The outbreak has predominantly affected children and young adults, with cases rising sharply from an average of three per month to over 20 in recent months. Hepatitis A, while self-limiting, can lead to severe liver inflammation and neurological complications if untreated. Similar trends have been observed in Bengaluru, where adults are unusually reporting Hepatitis A infections, likely due to underlying health conditions. Nationwide, hepatitis infections continue to be a major health concern, with WHO reporting an increase in viral hepatitis-related deaths globally.
