Quick Glance: Hepatitis B Prevention and Treatment

Hepatitis B is a liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus, which can be acute or chronic. It can lead to fatal outcomes like cirrhosis and liver cancer.

The infection spreads through infected body fluids like blood, saliva, vaginal fluids, and semen, as well as from mother to child. A safe and effective vaccine provides nearly 100% protection against the virus.

Transmission commonly occurs from mother to child or through contact with infected blood. Symptoms range from jaundice to abdominal pain and vomiting. Chronic hepatitis B can lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer.

Treatment for hepatitis B includes medications for chronic cases and vaccination for prevention. The World Health Organization advocates for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment measures to halt the spread of the disease and achieve elimination by 2030.

Quick Glance: Puerto Rico Responds to Dengue Outbreak with Health Emergency

The Puerto Rico health department took action by declaring a state of emergency in response to the significant increase in Dengue cases.

Dengue, transmitted by mosquitoes, results in symptoms such as fever, aches, and nausea.

In addition to the typical form of Dengue, a more severe variation known as severe Dengue can lead to internal bleeding, hospitalization, and even death.

Although there is no specific treatment for Dengue currently available, most individuals recover within a week. A vaccine is in existence, but is restricted to children with a prior confirmed Dengue case.
