    This document provides guidance on screening and testing for hepatitis viruses. It recommends ordering a hepatitis panel for patients presenting with symptoms of hepatitis like jaundice, fever, or dark urine, who have no known history of hepatitis infection. The panel tests for hepatitis A, B, and C viruses. Positive results would indicate acute infection with hepatitis A, B, or C, while negative results would require considering other potential causes of hepatitis like drugs, toxins, or other infections. A list of additional infections, medications, and medical conditions that could cause hepatitis symptoms is also provided.
