Clinical Terms
• inflammation of liver; presence of
inflammatory cells in organ tissue
Hepatitis:
• symptoms last less than 6 months
Acute Viral
Hepatitis:
• Massive hepatic necrosis with impaired
consciousness within 8 wks of onset of
illness.
Acute Hepatic
Failure:
• severe impairment of hepatic functions or
severe necrosis of hepatocytes in the
absence of preexisting liver disease
Fulminant
Hepatitis:
• Inflammation of liver for at least 6 months
Chronic
Hepatitis:

Hepatitis B Perinatal Transmission*
 If mother positive for HBsAg and HBeAg
 70%-90% of infants infected
 90% of infected infants become chronic
carriers
 If positive for HBsAg only
 20% of infants infected
 90% of infected infants become chronic
carriers
*in the absence of postexposure prophylaxis

Can my baby die from hepatitis B?
• Most babies do not die from hepatitis B.
carriers
If babies get all 3 shots, +
a shot called H-BIG,
they have a 95% chance of being safe from hepatitis B for life.
• 9/of 10 babies born to
infected mothers will end
up being hepatitis B
carriers for the rest of
their lives,

Hepatitis B is 100 times
More infectious than Aids

Hepatitis B:
A world-wide public health problem
• More than 2 billion exposed people
• Currently 350 million HBV carriers
• Over 1 million infected die each year
• Three quarters of the world’s 5.2 billion people
live in endemic regions
• Established cause of chronic hepatitis and
cirrhosis
• Human carcinogen - cause of up to 80% of
hepatocellular carcinomas

• High (8%): 45% of global population
– lifetime risk of infection >60%
– early childhood infections common
• Intermediate (2%-7%): 43% of global population
– lifetime risk of infection 20%-60%
– infections occur in all age groups
• Low (<2%): 12% of global population
– lifetime risk of infection <20%
– most infections occur in adult risk groups
Global Patterns of Chronic HBV Infection

Hepatitis B Epidemiology
• Reservoir Human. Endemic
• Transmission Bloodborne
Sub clinical cases transmit
• Communicability 1-2 months before
and after onset of
symptoms
Chronic carriers

• Incubation period Average 60-90 days
Range 45-180 days
• Clinical Illness (jaundice) <5 yrs, <10%
>5 yrs, 30%-50%
• Acute case-fatality rate 0.5%-1%
• Chronic Infection <5 yrs, 30%-90%
>5yrs, 2%-10%
• Premature mortality 15%-25%
from chronic liver disease
