The five hepatitis types are designated by which letters?

Hepatitis viruses are labeled with consecutive letters to distinguish five distinct viruses that cause liver inflammation, each with different transmission patterns and epidemiology. The standard set taught in most medical contexts includes five types: A, B, C, D, and E. While you may encounter additional letters in research contexts (like F, G, or others), those are not part of the five classic hepatitis types used in exams and clinical practice. So the set that comprises the first five letter-designated hepatitis viruses is the correct one.
