Hepatitis B, caused by the HBV virus, is a liver infection that can manifest as either acute, resolving without treatment, or chronic, potentially leading to serious complications like cirrhosis and liver cancer. Globally, HBV poses a significant health threat, with approximately 887,000 deaths attributed to HBV-related liver disease in 2015 alone.
According to estimates by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention C D C in 2016, around 862,000 individuals in the United States are living with a chronic HBV infection. While HBV typically presents as a short-term condition in most adults with no lasting harm, a small percentage (2–6%) may progress to chronic infection, raising the risk of liver cancer. Alarmingly, about 90% of infants infected with HBV are prone to developing chronic infections.

Hepatitis B caused by the hbv virus is a
0:13
liver infection that can manifest as
0:15
either acute resolving without treatment
0:18
or chronic potentially leading to
0:20
serious complications like curosis and
0:21
liver cancer globally hbv poses a
0:25
significant Health threat with
0:26
approximately 887 th000 deaths
0:29
attributed to hbv related liver disease
0:31
in 2015 alone according to estimates by
0:35
the Centers for Disease Control and
0:37
prevention CDC in 2016 around 862,5kg
0:57
about 90 of infants in infected with hbv
1:01
are prone to developing chronic
1:03
infections this video aims to delve into
1:05
various aspects of hbv covering

the description of this video so what is
1:25
Hepatitis B hbv has the potential to
1:29
induce liver infection and inflammation
1:32
notably individuals can Harbor hbv
1:35
without exhibiting symptoms thereby
1:37
unknowingly transmitting the virus to
1:39
others while some may remain
1:41
asymptomatic others might only
1:43
experience an initial infection that
1:45
resolves on its own however for a subset
1:47
of individuals the condition progresses
1:49
to a chronic state in chronic cases the
1:52
virus persistently assaults the liver
1:54
causing Progressive and irreversible
1:56
damage over time in 2017 the CDC
2:01
received reports of
2:02
3,47 cases of hbv infection yet
2:06
considering instances where infections
2:07
Go unreported the actual number of acute
2:10
HPV infections might have approached
2:12
approximately
2:14
22,100 causes the culprit behind hbv
2:19
infections is the Hepatitis B virus
2:21
infiltrating the body this virus is
2:23
present in Blood and various bodily
2:25
fluids making transmission possible
2:27
through Simon vaginal fluids and blood
2:29
blood additionally HPV can be
2:32
transmitted from an infected mother to
2:34
her newborn during child birth engaging
2:36
in unprotected sex and sharing needles
2:38
are common risk factors for
2:40
transmission moreover individuals may
2:43
contract hbv when visiting regions where
2:45
the infection is prevalent it's worth
2:47
noting that carriers can unwittingly
2:49
spread the virus since it often remains
2:52
asymptomatic
2:54
symptoms many cases of hbv infections
2:57
occur during infancy or childhood
2:59
primarily due to to transmission from
3:00
mother to child during child birth
3:02
however diagnosing HPV in childhood is
3:05
rare as it often presents with minimal
3:07
symptoms in children under 5 years old
3:10
or in adults with compromised immune
3:12
systems symptoms of a new hbv infection
3:15
may not be readily apparent among those
3:17
aged 5 years and older approximately
3:20
3050 will display initial signs and
3:23
symptoms acute symptoms typically emerge
3:25
around 6150 days following exposure to
3:28
the virus and can persist for several
3:30
weeks to 6 months in individuals with
3:32
chronic hbv infection recurring episodes
3:35
of abdominal pain persistent fatigue and
3:38
joint discomfort may be
3:40
experienced early
3:42
symptoms if HPV does cause symptoms
3:44
early on they may
3:46
include one
3:48
fever two joint pain three fatigue four
3:56
nausea five
3:58
vomiting six loss of
4:01
appetite seven abdominal pain eight dark
4:06
urine nine clay colored
4:09
stools 10 jaundice or yellowing of the
4:12
skin and whites of the eyes
4:16
transmission hbv is transmissible when
4:18
blood semen or another bodily fluid from
4:21
a person with the virus enters the body
4:23
of an individual who does not have it
4:26
more specifically infection can occur
4:29
one when a woman with hbv gives birth
4:33
two during sexual
4:35
activity three as a result of sharing
4:38
needles syringes or other drug injection
4:40
devices four as a result of practicing
4:44
unsafe Tattoo
4:45
Techniques five by sharing personal
4:47
hygiene items such as razors and
4:50
toothbrushes health workers may be at
4:52
risk through unsafe medical practices
4:55
such as reusing medical equipment not
4:57
using personal protection or incorrectly
4:59
disposing of
5:00
Sharps hbv cannot spread through one
5:05

breastfeeding four
5:13
hugging five
5:15
kissing six holding

hands seven
5:21
coughing eight
5:23
sneezing nine insect bites the virus can
5:27
survive outside the body for at least 7
5:30
days during this time it can still cause
5:32
infection if it enters the body of a
5:34
person who has not received vaccination
5:36
against it is it
5:38
curable currently there is no cure for
5:41
HPV but vaccination can effectively
5:44
prevent initial infection antiviral
5:46
medications are available to treat
5:48
chronic infections in instances where
5:50
chronic HPV results in permanent liver
5:53
damage a liver transplant can offer
5:55
long-term survival
5:56
benefits however with the administration
5:59
of of an effective vaccine and the use
6:01
of antiviral medications the number of
6:03
individuals requiring liver transplants
6:06
due to Chronic hbv may be significantly
6:09
reduced treatment options there is no
6:13
specific treatment cure or medication
6:15
for an acute hbv infection supportive
6:18
care will depend on the
6:19
symptoms treatment for suspected
6:22
exposure anyone who has had potential
6:25
exposure to hbv can undergo a
6:27
postexposure prophylaxis protocol
6:30
this consists of hbv vaccination and
6:33
hepatitis B immunoglobin hbig healthcare
6:36
workers give the prophylaxis after the
6:38
exposure and before an acute infection
6:41
develops this protocol will not care an
6:44
infection that has already developed
6:47
however it decreases the rate of acute
6:49
infection treatment for chronic hbv
6:52
infection for chronic hbv infection
6:56
antiviral medications are available
6:58
while these medications do not
7:00
constitute a cure for chronic hbv they
7:02
effectively inhibit the virus's
7:04
replication thus thwarting its
7:05
advancement into severe liver
7:07
disease individuals with chronic HPV
7:11
infection are at risk of rapidly
7:13
developing curosis or liver cancer often
7:15
without warning in cases where access to
7:18
adequate treatment or facilities is
7:19
lacking liver cancer can prove fatal
7:22
within months of
7:23
diagnosis regular medical evaluation and
7:26
liver ultrasound every 6 12 months are
7:29
essential for individuals with chronic
7:30
hbv infection this monitoring regimen
7:33
enables healthc Care Professionals to
7:35
assess the progression of liver damage
7:36
and the worsening of the condition
7:38
accurately hepatitis bvs hepatitis C
7:43
hepatitis encompasses various types
7:45
including both HPV and the hepatitis C
7:47
virus hcv which can manifest as acute or
7:51
chronic
7:52
infections the primary distinction
7:54
between hbv and H lies in their modes of
7:57
transmission from person to person while
7:59
sexual transmission of shivi is uncommon
8:02
it primarily spreads through contact
8:04
between infected blood and non-infected
8:06
blood Hepatitis B during
8:09
pregnancy if a woman is infected with
8:11
HPV and becomes pregnant there's a risk
8:14
of transmitting the virus to her baby
8:16
it's crucial for women to inform their
8:17
delivering doctor about their hbv
8:20
status upon birth the infant should
8:23
promptly receive both the hbv vaccine
8:25
and hbig hepatitis B immune globulin
8:28
Within 12 24 hours this Swift
8:31
intervention significantly diminishes
8:33
the likelihood of the infant developing
8:35
HPV infection the HPV vaccine is safe to
8:39
receive while pregnant
8:42
prevention people can prevent hvv
8:44
infection by one wearing appropriate
8:47
protective equipment when working in
8:49
healthcare settings or dealing with
8:50
medical
8:51
emergencies two not sharing

9:09
the vaccine last according to the World
9:12
Health Organization wh the complete
9:15
vaccine series induces protective
9:17
antibody levels in over 95 of infants
9:20
Children and adolescents who receive it
9:23
moreover the immune memory triggered by
9:25
the hbv vaccine can endure for at least
9:28
30 years in health individuals
9:30
nonetheless ongoing studies aim to
9:32
ascertain the duration of protection
9:34
conferred by the vaccine are there side
9:38
effects many individuals tolerate the
9:40
hbv vaccine well according to the CDC
9:43
the most common side effects of the hbv
9:46
vaccine include fever and soreness at
9:48
the injection site additionally swelling
9:50
redness and hardened skin at the
9:52
injection site may occur however it's
9:54
crucial to note that very rarely the HPV
9:57
vaccination can trigger a severe
9:59
allergic reaction known as
10:01
anaphylaxis is the vaccine a live virus
10:05
the HPV vaccine contains no live virus
10:08
this makes it safe for women to receive
