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.
