	Hepatitis B
		Hepatitis B is a contagious liver infection caused by hepatitis B virus.
		Hepatitis B infection is caused by the hepatitis B virus.
		For example, hepatitis B can be transmitted from an infected mother to her baby at birth, through unprotected sex with an infected person, by sharing equipment for injecting street drugs, and by occupational contact with blood in a health-care setting.

	Hepatitis B Virus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Hepatitis B (HBV) is a double-stranded DNA virus, originally called the "Dane particle." The disease it caused had various names, including serum hepatitis, homologous serum jaundice, and long incubation period hepatitis.
		The hepatitis B antibody (also known as the B surface antigen and the hepatitis B surface antigen) is known to cover most of the B subtypes as well.
		The hepatitis B vaccine is recommended for all newborn infants, but the injections have caused some serious side effects, including chronic fatigue syndrome, seizures, such autoimmune diseases as arthritis and lupus, plus neurological dysfunctions.

	Hepatitis B Virus, Hepatitis B Virus Infection, HBV Infection
		Hepatitis B is the only human representative of a family of DNA viruses (Herpadnaviradae) of which related viruses have been found in woodchucks, Peking ducks and ground squirrels.
		Hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) is normally used in combination with hepatitis B vaccine to confer passive and active immunity after exposure.
		HBV infection in these areas usually occurs at a young age - in China and S.E.Asia the virus is usually acquired perinatally from a carrier mother whereas in Africa, the infection tends to be acquired in early childhood through horizontal spread of the virus.

		Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg): A negative result indicates that a person has never been exposed to the virus or has recovered from acute hepatitis and has rid themselves of the virus (or has, at most, an occult infection).

	NGC - NGC Summary
		Due to the limited efficacy of HBV vaccine in the HIV-infected population, all patients should be given counseling concerning behavior modifications to decrease the risk of acquiring HBV infection through sexual activity and injection drug use.
		Administration of prophylactic hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) and the initiation of the hepatitis B vaccine series (at different sites) are recommended when the non-HBV-immune patient sustains a blood or body fluid exposure to a source with acute or chronic HBV (see Table 4 in the original guideline document).
		The clinician should consult with a specialist with experience in treating hepatitis B in patients with HIV infection to determine whether HBV therapy should be initiated, which therapy should be given, and how the patient should be monitored clinically once treated.

	Screening: Hepatitis B Virus Infection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The current practice of vaccinating all infants against HBV infection and postexposure prophylaxis with hepatitis B immune globulin administered at birth to infants of HBV-infected mothers substantially reduces the risk for acquiring HBV infection.
		The prevalence of HBV infection is low; the majority of infected individuals do not develop chronic infection, cirrhosis, or HBV-related liver disease.
		As a result, the USPSTF concluded that the potential harms of screening for HBV infection in the general population are likely to exceed any potential benefits.

		Although many people who are exposed to hepatitis B will be able to get rid of the virus, some people can develop chronic (or lifelong) hepatitis B. This may lead to liver damage, liver cancer, and death.
		Yes, speak with your primary health care provider about your risk for hepatitis B. Your doctor can check to see if you already have immunity (or are protected) against hepatitis B and if not, can vaccinate you.
		It is especially important to get vaccinated against hepatitis B if you have HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) or hepatitis C. Can I get medicine to treat chronic hepatitis B? Sometimes a medicine called interferon is used to treat chronic hepatitis B. A medicine called lamivudine is also used.
