There is something also known as leptospirosis, which is known as rat fever in Kerala, where it comes specifically during rains. It's because of contaminated water, because of the rat urine, the rats come out from the fields and it contaminates the water sources. When they use such water sources, people get infected, and it also presents with jaundice. That is another cause of hepatitis, leptospirosis. It's very commonly seen in Kerala. We call it as triple R, not the movie. It's rats, rains, and rice fields. These are the three risk factors that promotes this infection. That's also one cause for jaundice that we see in Kerala.
