Concept introduction: Hepatitis B infection is caused by hepatitis B virus that attacks liver by causing liver inflammation, fibrosis, and liver failure. The disease is primarily transmitted from infected blood transfusions and body fluids. There is a high risk of transmission of disease from an infected person to another through sexual intercourse or blood transfusions. The disease gets worse and develops into chronic hepatitis within 6 months or years of infection (depends on the age and immunity of the infected person). Hepatitis B infection is not curable but is treatable to reduce the severity of the disease.
