Edemic in the world, especially in tropical and developing countries, hepatitis B is much more terrible disease. According to the World Health Organization estimates, hepatitis B, leading to more than one million deaths per year. There are more than 300 million people infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) in the world. In India, about 4% of the population is infected with this virus. The majority of these infections occur at birth or during childhood.
In general, Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver. Any swelling leverage on behalf of a viral infection is viral hepatitis. There are several Namely hepatitis, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, hepatitis D and hepatitis E and hepatitis E virus. They all acute swelling of the liver. Some of the liver cells die from what is known as necrosis of the liver. Although hepatitis A and E are transmitted by contaminated food or water, hepatitis B, C, D and F are transmitted by blood.
Hepatitis B is a liver infection with hepatitis B. HBV causes the most serious forms of hepatitis. It is 100 times more infectious than the AIDS virus (HIV), and life can lead to infection, liver cirrhosis (scarring) of the liver, liver cancer, liver failure, even death.
People at high risk of infection with hepatitis B, including the health of workers, surgeons, nurses, laboratory personnel who work with blood and production and work with unsterilized instruments, people with multiple sexual partners or homosexuals, intravenous drug users, recipients of blood transfusions, hemophiliacs, and people with an infected person. Children of mothers carried HBV is also a risk of infection. HBV is highly contagious and has the ability to survive on objects for a week or more.
Signs and symptoms of HBV infection include fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, cough and colds, diarrhea and abdominal pain. Muscle and joint pain and rash occur in May Dark urine and jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes) are not the symptoms. When infected with HBV, many people think they have the flu and does not attribute their symptoms to HBV infection. The only way the disease can be positively identified through a blood test.
If not treated early in the disease progress May acute fulminant hepatitis. The patient suddenly collapse in May of fatigue, and severe jaundice develop swelling of the abdomen. Fulminate acute hepatitis develops very sudden and severe and can be fatal if not treated immediately.
Approximately 90% of the total number of people infected with HBV antibodies against the disease. Although some symptoms, they usually recover without further complications. But about 5-10 percent of adults infected with HBV never develop antibodies against the virus and are chronic, often without even knowing it. Chronic carriers have an increased risk of developing liver disease, such as carriers, often without even knowing it. Chronic carriers have an increased risk of developing liver disease such as liver cirrhosis or liver cancer, because the hepatitis B virus attacks the liver regularly. Liver cancer is one of the ten most common cancers in the world and wearing a uniform and specific association with hepatitis B with an attributable risk of about 80%. Although chronic may not have the same symptoms, they can transmit the disease to others.
