Joint pain

Hepatitis E virus infections frequently go unnoticed at first, but if they persist for a long time, they may develop consequences. Inflammation and soreness in the joints is one of them. Joint pain can occasionally be the initial sign of the hepatitis E virus, and it can occasionally be an indication of arthritis. Hepatitis E virus is linked to other illnesses including fibromyalgia that can lead to joint pain.

The immune system plays a role in how the hepatitis E virus might cause joint pain. The immune system becomes active as the body works to eliminate and discharge the virus, which might result in joint inflammation. This symptom often goes away after the immune system eliminates the acute hepatitis E virus.
