QuestionChoice
This man is suffering from Hepatitis B. Hepatitis B typically presents with fever, right upper quadrant pain, jaundice, fatigue, and malaise. A prodromal illness may occur ~2 weeks before the onset of jaundice. Hepatitis B is a viral infection transmitted through infected bodily fluids and is therefore transmitted through blood-to-blood contact (e.g. needle sharing), sexual transmission, and vertical transmission from mother to baby perinatally.
