Activity Description

Hepatitis B infection is a serious global healthcare problem. Often transmitted via body fluids like blood, semen, and vaginal secretions, the hepatitis B virus can cause liver injury. After infection with the hepatitis B virus, the majority of adults are able to clear the infection. Patients can present with acute symptomatic disease or have an asymptomatic disease that is identified during screening for the hepatitis B virus. This article focuses on identifying who is at risk of hepatitis B, and clinical evaluation and management of patients with hepatitis B by an interdisciplinary team. It also focuses on preventive measures.
