Correct Answer
A. Liver

Explanation
Hepatitis is a disease characterized by inflammation of the liver. It is caused by viral infections, alcohol abuse, or autoimmune diseases. The liver is responsible for detoxifying harmful substances, producing bile for digestion, and storing essential nutrients. When the liver is inflamed, it can lead to symptoms such as fatigue, jaundice, abdominal pain, and liver damage. Therefore, it is clear that hepatitis is associated with the liver.

Virus is the major cause of hepatitis. Hepatitis is a viral infection that causes inflammation of the liver. There are several types of hepatitis viruses, including hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E. These viruses can be transmitted through contaminated food or water, blood or bodily fluids, or sexual contact. Bacteria and protozoa are not the major causes of hepatitis, making "Virus" the correct answer.

  Type E
Correct Answer
B. Type B

Explanation
Hepatitis B is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) because it can be transmitted through sexual contact with an infected person. It is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and can also be transmitted through sharing needles or other drug paraphernalia, or from an infected mother to her baby during childbirth. The other types of hepatitis (A, D, and E) are not typically transmitted through sexual contact.

Which of the following can only be infected as secondary to hepatitis B?
- A.
  
  Type A
- B.
  
  Type B
- C.
  
  Type C
- D.
  
  Type D
Correct Answer
D. Type D

Explanation
Hepatitis D can only be infected as a secondary infection to hepatitis B. This is because hepatitis D virus (HDV) requires the presence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) to replicate and cause infection. HDV can only infect individuals who are already infected with HBV, as it uses the HBV envelope to enter liver cells. Therefore, individuals who are not already infected with HBV cannot be infected with HDV alone.

7.

Which of the following can be prevented by Immunization?
- A.
  
  Type A
- B.
  
  Type B
- C.

- D.
  
  All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the above

Explanation
Immunization can prevent various diseases caused by different types of pathogens. Type A, Type B, and Type D diseases can all be prevented through immunization. Immunization helps to stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies against specific pathogens, providing protection against future infections. By receiving the appropriate vaccines, individuals can develop immunity and reduce the risk of contracting these diseases. Therefore, all of the above types of diseases can be prevented by immunization.

A. Acute Hepatitis

Explanation
Acute Hepatitis occurs for a short period of time. It is an inflammation of the liver that lasts less than six months. It can be caused by various factors such as viral infections, alcohol abuse, or drug toxicity. Acute Hepatitis often presents with symptoms such as fatigue, jaundice, abdominal pain, and nausea. It can resolve on its own or progress to chronic Hepatitis if not properly managed. Chronic Hepatitis, on the other hand, lasts for more than six months, while Fulminant Hepatitis is a severe and rapidly progressing form of acute Hepatitis.

Chronic Hepatitis refers to a prolonged inflammation of the liver that lasts for more than 6 months.

Therefore, it is important to limit alcohol consumption to prevent the development of hepatitis and other liver-related disorders.
