A member asked:
Hi, is there a water borne bacteria that can cause a liver diasease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not that I am aware: To my knowledge, water-borne bacteria do not cause liver disease. Hepatitis A and E, which are viruses, can be transmitted through water. There is also a parasitic infection called schistosomiasis that affects the liver and is water-borne.
