Illustration of hepatitis B virus (HBV) particles. HBV causes the disease hepatitis B (hep B), which affects the liver. Hep B can cause acute symptoms lasting several weeks, from which most recover naturally, but chronic hep B can cause cirrhosis and liver cancer to develop over many years. There is no cure for chronic hep B, but vaccines exist which offer near 100 percent protection from infection. | |
