The hepatitis A virus is the cause of hepatitis A,

The hepatitis A virus is the cause of hepatitis A, a liver infection that is contracted by the fecal-oral route. This indicates that it spreads when an infected person's feces enter another person's mouth.

How is hepatitis A spread? Hepatitis A usually spreads when a person unknowingly ingests virus from objects, food, or drinks contaminated by small, undetected amounts of virus in the feces (stool) from an infected person. Even consuming microscopic (tiny) amounts of feces can spread hepatitis A virus.
