Inflammation of the liver, usually viral, with fever, loss of appetite, jaundice, fatigue.

• A. Gastric Ulcer
• B. Concussion
• C. Diabetes Mellitus
• D. Hepatitis

Answer: (D)

Inflammation of the liver is hepatitis, usually caused by viral infections. When the liver is inflamed, you often see fever, loss of appetite, fatigue, and jaundice because the damaged liver can’t process bilirubin properly, leading to yellowing of the skin and eyes. The liver’s role in filtering toxins and bile means its irritation shows up as systemic symptoms plus yellowing.

The other options don’t fit this pattern. A gastric ulcer causes burning stomach pain from the stomach lining, not liver inflammation or jaundice. A concussion is a brain injury with symptoms like confusion or headache, not liver-related symptoms. Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder marked by high blood sugar and thirst/urination, without the liver inflammation and jaundice seen in hepatitis.
