| hepatitis B |
A viral hepatitis caused by the Hepatitis B-virus, a Orthohepadnavirus. The transmission route is parenteral. A fulminant course is uncommon, but the infection is often chronic causing liver cirrhosis and an elevated risk of liver cancer. B-hepatitis can be treated by Lamivudin and in some cases by Interferon. The disease can be prevented by vaccination.
