Mr Amit, Thanks for the query. Hepatitis is a viral disease and there are a number of types like Hepatitis A which is caused by water and food contamination due to sewage water. Other types like B& C are caused by contaminated syringes/needles, blood transfusion as well as unprotected sex with a person having such an infection. Syphilis is a bacterial infection caused by Trepanoma pallidum bacteria. It is a sexually transmitted disease following unprotected sex withan infected person. Thanks
