Hepatitis A is caused by the Hepatitis A virus (HAV), which belongs to the Picornaviridae family. The virus primarily targets the liver, leading to inflammation and potentially causing symptoms such as jaundice, fever, and fatigue. Due to its fecal-oral transmission route, outbreaks can occur in settings with poor sanitation, making timely and accurate diagnostic methods essential.
The quanty HAV assay from Clonit is a useful tool in diagnosis and monitoring of HAV viral loads. Please contact us for more information if required.
