Acute Hepatitis A infection is a highly contagious viral liver infection that causes inflammation and symptoms like jaundice, fatigue, nausea, and abdominal pain. It is caused by the Hepatitis A virus (HAV), which spreads through contaminated food, water, or close contact with infected individuals. The Hepatitis A IgM Antibody test is the most important test for diagnosis because it specifically detects antibodies produced during active infection.

Hepatitis A infection is caused by the Hepatitis A virus (HAV), which spreads through the fecal-oral route when contaminated food, water, or surfaces come into contact with the mouth. The virus is highly contagious and commonly transmitted through eating food prepared by someone with unwashed hands, drinking contaminated water, or having close personal contact with an infected person. Outbreaks often occur in areas with poor sanitation or in settings where food handlers do not follow proper hygiene practices.
The Hepatitis A IgM Antibody test is the most important test for acute Hepatitis A infection because it specifically detects IgM antibodies that appear within 2 weeks of infection and indicate current or recent illness. This test provides definitive confirmation of active infection, distinguishing it from past exposure or vaccination, which produce different antibodies. A positive IgM result allows healthcare providers to quickly initiate appropriate treatment, implement isolation measures, and begin contact tracing to prevent further spread of this highly contagious virus.
You should get tested if you develop symptoms like yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), dark urine, clay-colored stools, severe fatigue, nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain, especially after potential exposure to contaminated food or water. Testing is also essential if you have been in close contact with someone diagnosed with Hepatitis A, recently traveled to areas with poor sanitation, or ate at a restaurant linked to an outbreak. Early testing allows for prompt diagnosis and helps prevent transmission to family members and others in your community.
