Answer: Liver infection

Step-by-step explanation:

Hepat refers to the liver and itis refers to inflammation.

So by that break down of the word, it refers to the some inflammation of the liver due to an infection.

Hepatitis A, also known as Hep A, is a viral disease in the liver that can result in mild to very severe illness. This viral infection can be transmitted when contaminated water or food is ingested in contact directly with an infectious person. Happy to help :)
