Blood Borne Viruses-Hepatitis. Hepatitis is a disease characterized by inflammation of the liver. There are several types of viral hepatitis, known as A, B, C, D and E. Hepatitis D is linked to hepatitis B and is not considered as a separate type of its own any longer.Hepatitis A and E are spread by faecal contamination and are rarely considered blood borne pathogens.he other hepatitis viruses are blood borne, and both hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) present the greatest risk for drug users. An effective vaccine exists to prevent hepatitis B infections. In most cases, hepatitis C causes no noticeable symptoms until the liver has been significantly damaged.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. A blood-borne disease (sometimes referred to as a blood-borne virus or BBV) is one that can be spread through contamination by blood and other body fluids. The most common examples are HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and viral hemorrhagic fevers.Diseases that are not usually transmitted directly by blood contact, but rather by insect or other vector, are more usefully classified as vector-borne disease, even though the causative agent can be found in blood.he most common examples are HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and viral hemorrhagic fevers.
