Hepatitis B infection: Symptoms, Causes And Prevention
Hepatitis B, caused by HBV, is a serious liver infection ranging from acute to chronic forms, with risks of cancer and cirrhosis. Symptoms include abdominal pain and jaundice. HBV spreads through bodily fluids and can be transmitted sexually, by sharing needles, or from mother to child. Vaccination can prevent it, but no cure exists once contracted. Immediate medical attention is advised after exposure or symptom onset.
