My friend has liver infection, what does that mean?

Hello. Thank you for posting.

Liver infections are classified according to the category of the infecting agent as viral, bacterial or parasitic. Viral infections include both primary hepatitis viruses or secondary causes where the liver is involved during systemic viral infections such as cytomegalovirus, HIV and herpes simplex. Your friend's doctor can give you specifics of exactly what she has. Liver disease is any condition that damages the liver and prevents it from functioning well.
