  • MG Viral Hepatitis
    December, 2014 Hepatitis in Oregon: Find it, Face it and Fight it! The topic of this issue is viral hepatitis. The term ‘hepatitis” means inflamma- tion of the liver. The liver is a vital organ with many tasks, including helping the body to filter blood, turn food into energy and nutrients, fight infections and clot the blood. If the liver is inflamed or damaged, these and other func- tions can be affected. Hepatitis is most often caused by a virus. In the United States and in Oregon, the most common types of viral hepatitis are hepatitis A, hepatitis B and hepatitis C. Viral hepatitis is an important issue for health care professionals working in jails. Persons involved with the criminal justice system (CJS) experience high- er prevalence of hepatitis B and C compared to the general public. Several factors, including the higher rates of substance abuse, dependency, addiction and mental health issues among CJS involved persons contribute to this REGON HEALTH AUTHORITY health disparity. Since the vast majority of persons passing through jail systems return to their communities, increasing awareness of viral hepatitis among persons involved with the CJS, offering hepatitis C screening and hepatitis A and B vaccina- tions, referring insured persons at risk of or infected with viral hepatitis to their health care provider, and supporting uninsured patients at risk of or infected with viral hepatitis to sign up for health insurance are a few actions that can help reduce viral hepatitis transmission, liver disease, cirrhosis and liver can- cer in our communities.
