Hepatitis B Causes, Symptoms and Treatments

Hepatitis B is one of the most common infectious diseases in the world. Hepatitis B, a virus that infects the liver, is passed from one person to the other by blood and body fluids. Hepatitis B infections are either acute or chronic. Acute hepatitis B can last from a few weeks to a few months and you may recover yourself. Chronic hepatitis B is a disease that may remain for life and can lead to serious liver diseases, including liver cancer.

Preventing hepatitis B is possible as long as you have not been infected with the virus. If you have been infected, there are hepatitis B treatments available.
