They held that contact with public life was indispensable for the full development of the intellect, and thought that none but a weak-minded person would refuse an opportunity for such service. So, to the Romans, an idiot was a person who, through lack of mental ability, was unfit for public office; hence, an ignoramus.
Hepatitis (plural: hepatitides) is a medical condition defined by the inflammation of the liver and characterized by the presence of inflammatory cells in the tissue of the organ.
Hepatitis A is a liver disease caused by the hepatitis A virus. The virus is primarily spread when an uninfected (and unvaccinated) person ingests food or water that is contaminated with the faeces of an infected person. The hepatitis A virus is transmitted through ingestion of contaminated food and water or through direct contact with an infectious person. 2  Almost everyone recovers fully from hepatitis A, but very small proportions die from fulminant hepatitis.
