Facts About Hepatitis B For Adults What is hepatitis B? Hepatitis B is caused by a highly contagious virus that infects the liver. It affects all age groups and can lead to liver disease, liver cancer and death in many of those afflicted. The virus is found in the blood and body fluids of infected people and can be spread through sexual contact, the sharing of needles or razors, from mother to infant during birth, and by living in a household with a chronically infected person. The hepatitis B virus (HBV) is hardy and can live outside the body for several days. Prevention Safe, effective hepatitis B vaccines are available. The vaccines are used to protect everyone from newborn babies to older adults. The vaccination series, generally given as 3 doses over a 6 month period, protects those at risk and contributes to the elimination of this silent, highly infectious killer. The hepatitis B vaccine is recognized as the first anti-cancer vaccine because it can prevent liver cancer caused by hepatitis B infection. Symptoms Hepatitis B is a "silent disease" that often affects many people without making them feel sick. If you do get sick from hepatitis B, the symptoms may be like the "flu." You may lose your appetite, feel extremely tired, have stomach cramps and vomit. If you are more seriously ill, your skin and eyes may turn yellow (jaundiced) and you may need hospitalization. There is no specific treatment for hepatitis B once it is contracted.

In tests on hundreds of patients, both teams of researchers found that more people who were given weekly injections of peginterferon alfa-2a responded better to the treatment than volunteers given the older, shorter-acting form known as interferon alfa-2a.

Return to Communicable Disease Home Page From the ... What's New Hepatitis A (infectious hepatitis) What is hepatitis A? Hepatitis A (formerly known as infectious hepatitis) is a liver disease caused by a specific virus. The disease is fairly common; more than 2,500 cases are reported in New York State each year. Who gets hepatitis A? Anyone can get hepatitis A, but it occurs more frequently in children, people travelling abroad, and men who have sex with men. How is the virus spread? The hepatitis A virus enters through the mouth, multiplies in the body and is passed in the feces. The virus can then be carried on an infected person s hands and can be spread by direct contact, or by consuming food or drink that has been handled by the individual. In some cases, it can be spread by consuming contaminated water. What are the symptoms of hepatitis A? The symptoms of hepatitis A may include fatigue, poor appetite, fever and vomiting. Urine may become darker in color, and then jaundice (a yellowing of the skin and whites of the eyes) may appear. The disease is rarely fatal and most people recover in a few weeks without any complications. Infants and young children tend to have very mild symptoms and are less likely to develop jaundice than are older children and adults. Not everyone who is infected will have all of the symptoms. How soon do symptoms appear?

Sponsor: Overlæge, dr.med. Jens D. Lundgren Hepatitis (leverbetændelse) Hvad er hepatitis ? Når leveren bliver smittet med mikroorganismer eller påvirket af medicin (mest frygtet er overdosis af paracetamol), over måde stort alkohol indtag eller giftige levnedsmidler (fx svampe) udvikles der en betændelse i leveren. Der findes en række virus arter som specifikt rammer leveren – de såkaldte hepatitis virus. Der findes en række af disse hepatitis virus, som benævnes alfabetisk, altså A, B, C, etc. Selv om virus navnene ligner hinanden, er forløbet af hepatiten yderst forskelligt, og det er væsentligt at holde dem adskilt når man snakker om en virus hepatitis. Hvad er symptomerne på hepatitis ? Det klassiske tegn er gulsot (icterus). Gulsoten kan enten udvikle sig lige når hepatiten opstår, eller længere hende i forløbet af en kronisk hepatitis (se komplikationer til hepatitis) som regel i forbindelse med at hepatiten har medført skrumpe lever. Når gulsoten udvikler sig vil patienten typisk også føle sig træt , og klage over at afføringen bliver lysere og urinen mørk. Nogle klager over smerter fra leveren (sidder lige under ribbenene på højre side af maven fortil). I nogle tilfælde er træthed det eneste symptom på hepatiten.

Hepatitis B Vacunas Hepatitis A [ Hepatitis B ] Influenza Varicela Meningitis El padecimiento ... Hechos y cifras EL PADECIMIENTO AGUDA Y DE LARGA DURACION En el ataque agudo, el virus se multiplica en el higado en aproximadamente uno a seis meses (promedio de tres meses). Los estados tempranos de la enfermedad suelen semejar influenza y la fase aguda se desarrolla en etapas que pueden variara de muy leves a graves. En algunos casos es mortal. Los afectados por hepatitis B habitualmente se recuperan. Se requieren sin embargo de varias semanas antes de lograr la recuperacion y de reiniciar las actividades normales. CRONICA DE POR VIDA La hepatitis B cronica tiene un rango de expresion clinica muy amplio. Suele ser asintomatica, de modo que el paciente no siente dolor ni molestias. La mayoria ni siquiera sabe que alberga el virus hasta que la enfermedad progresa a la etapa terminal de cirrosis o cancer hepatico. Los afectados por hepatitis B cronica asintomatica tienen 270 veces mas probabilidad de desarrollar cancer hepatico que los no portadores. ALGUNOS HECHOS Aunque la hepatitis B, como el virus de SIDA, es mas comun entre homosexuales y drogadictos, tambien puede transmitirse entre personas heterosexuales. Esto significa que, durante el coito, varones y mujeres pueden infectarse con el virus, si la pareja es portadora del virus. Siendo infecciosos, pueden transmitir el virus a otras personas. De modo que en viajes, los encuentros sexuales ocasionales, no solo conllevan el riesgo de gonorrea u otras infecciones venereas establecidas; pueden tambien llevar el peligro de hepatitis B o SIDA. Por lo menos, las personas que consienten aventuras sexuales durante sus viajes deben utilizar metodos anticonceptivos de barrera y considerar vacunarse contra la hepatitis B.

Hepatitis December 2001 WHAT IS HEPATITIS? Hepatitis Hepatitis is a disorder in which viruses or other mechanisms produce inflammation in liver cells, resulting in their injury or destruction. [ See Box The Liver.] In most cases, this inflammatory process is triggered when the immune system fights off infections caused by viruses. It can also be caused, however, by an overactive immune system that attacks its own liver cells. Inflammation of the liver can also occur from medical problems, drugs, alcoholism, chemicals, and environmental toxins. Hepatitis varies in severity from a self-limited condition with total recovery to a life-threatening or life-long disease. Experts define hepatitis in one of two ways: Short-term (acute hepatitis). Prolonged (chronic hepatitis). In some cases, acute hepatitis develops into a chronic condition, but chronic hepatitis can also occur on its own. Although chronic hepatitis is generally the more serious condition, patients having either condition can experience varying degrees of severity. The Liver The liver is the largest organ in the body, occupying the entire upper right quadrant of the abdomen. It performs over 500 vital functions. Among them are the following:
