Hey guys, here’s a simple little mnemonic to remember the incubation period of various hepatitis infections.
Rule of 4 to 8:
Hep A - 4 weeks
Hep E - 5 to 6 weeks
Hep C - 7 weeks
Hep B/D - 8 to 12 weeks
Pay attention to the order of Hep infections from 4 to 8.
Why A&E first? That’s because they enter through the mouth (feco-oral mode of transmission) and your mouth is the first part of your GI.
Remember, Hep D co-infects or super-infects Hep B.
