All three of these viruses can cause an acute illness that manifests as jaundice, malaise, exhaustion, nausea, and stomach pain. Furthermore, chronic infection can result from acute HBV and HCV infection. Chronically infected patients may develop cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Additionally, carriers of chronic hepatitis are still contagious and can spread the illness for many years.</span></em></p> <p><strong><em><span lang="EN-IN">Aims and Objectives : </span></em></strong><em><span lang="EN-IN">To study the prevalence and management of hepatitis in the general medicine department and to analyse the prescribing patterns , and immunoglobulin administration for various types of hepatitis. </span></em></p> <p><strong><em><span lang="EN-IN">Methodology: </span></em></strong><em><span lang="EN-IN">It is a prospective and observational study carried out over a period of six months at Osmania General Hospital Afzal Gunj , Hyderabad.
