Abstract: Acute viral hepatitis is caused by hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis E virus (HEV) that is a great health problem worldwide. Both of the viruses are non-enveloped ribonucleic acid (RNA) and cause a self-limiting viral infection that is transmitted by fecal-oral route, primarily through the consumption of contaminated food and water. Both of the viruses can develop mono-infection or co-infection that is a common cause of viral hepatitis in developing countries. Some common symptoms of both diseases are fever, headache, malaise, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, abdominal pain, dark urine, and jaundice. The HAV is more common cause of acute hepatitis in children, and HEV is responsible for the majority of epidemic and sporadic hepatitis in adults. This study is planned to discuss the transmission and management of HAV and HEV infections to reduce morbidity and mortality for the welfare of the patients.
