Hepatitis B is a viral infection that leads to
inflammation of the liver. It is caused due to infection with the hepatitis B
virus (HBV). This disease is more infectious than HIV because it is very easily transmitted by blood and other body fluids. Once infected with the hepatitis B virus, approximately 10% of the people develop a chronic permanent infection. Hepatitis B is very common in Asia, China, Philippines, Africa and the Middle East. The overall incidence of reported hepatitis B cases is 2 per 10,000 individuals, but the true incidence may be higher, because many cases do not cause symptoms and go undiagnosed and unreported. Most people do not experience any symptoms during the acute phase of hepatitis B. However, some people might develop symptoms like jaundice, dark urine, fatigue, nausea, vomiting and abdominal pain. The hepatitis B virus can also cause a chronic infection of the liver that can later develop into liver cirrhosis or liver cancer. A positive blood test for the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) indicates that the person has an active hepatitis infection. There is no specific treatment for acute hepatitis B. Bed rest along with adequate nutritional balance and replacement of fluids is recommended. Chronic hepatitis B can be treated with drugs, including interferon and antiviral agents. |

Posted on: 01/26/2010 I just want to ask if those people who have Hepa B can still work because as far as I know, those people I know who have that illness are are finding it hard to a have a job and get a normal life. How can they live if they wont be given a chance to prove that they are still normal. I hope people all over the world can still give a chance for those people who want to live and work even if already infected by the disease. We never know what they been going through to survive, Tablets give them a chance to live a normal life. Thanks so much.

Posted on: 03/02/2011 you're right dude! people who has a hbv can also need a normal life not to be discriminate! having hbv is fuc'in hard to accept when someone discovered during their medical examination and cause of it's failur!, Working expiriences and credits are fuc'in great but you're not totally fited to work because of the damn virus. some person are getting unfaithful to the god, because of the discrimination and lost of their dreams, totally insane... but we don't know God there is a special gift for those who have hbv. God is great! |

Posted on: 04/27/2009 if the patient who has hepa B want this vaccination how much it will cost?
Posted by:

Posted on: 02/12/2010 patients who has hepa b are not given by the doctors option for vaccination. Because vaccination is only a prophylactic or preventive treatment for the liver. Different drug/s would be prescribed by the doctor if a patient aquired hepa b already like antivirals [azyclovir..] |
