in some cases (end stage liver cirrhosis ) trasplantation of the liver is needed
How does the virus interact in the body?
The hepatitis B virus can survive for at least 7 days outside the body.
During this period, the virus remains able to cause infection .
The incubation period is 75 days on average, but can range from 30 to 180 days. The virus can be detected within 30 to 60 days after infection and can continue to be transformed into chronic hepatitis B.
how Hepatitis B virus is transmitted?
Skin or mucous or contaminated blood or body fluids,
saliva,
Vaginal fluids,
Semen
Intercourse
Transfusion of contaminated blood
A contaminated syringe
Drug abuse
Tattooing

Chronic infection is characterized by the presence of HBsAg antigen for at least six months (in conjunction with or without HBeAg antigen). The persistence of the HBsAg antigen is the main risk factor for the development of the condition to chronic liver disease and liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma) at a later stage of life
