    Document: Hepatitis A virus (HAV) is a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA virus, belonging to the family Picornaviridae.

Although hepatitis A infection does not lead to chronic liver disease and has very low mortality, it may cause enervating symptoms and fulminant hepatitis (acute liver failure) [4] . Currently, no specific antiviral agent is available for HAV, and thus, prevention via vaccination and improvement of hygiene and sanitation is the most effective approach against the HAV infection.
