DISEASE HEPATITIS B.

Abstract
Hepatitis B is a vaccine-preventable liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus
(HBV). Hepatitis B is spread when blood, semen, or other body fluids from a person infected with
the virus enters the body of someone who is not infected. This can happen through sexual contact;
sharing needles, syringes, or other drug-injection equipment; or from mother to baby at birth. Not
all people newly infected with HBV have symptoms, but for those that do, symptoms can include
fatigue, poor appetite, stomach pain, nausea, and jaundice.
