Product description:
Hepatitis B infection is one of the most common infectious diseases of global significance. The
infection is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) that infects the liver, causing
hepatocellular necrosis and inflammation. HBV infection can be either acute or chronic, or the
associated illness ranges in severity from asymptomatic to symptomatic, progressive disease.
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB), defined as persistence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) for six
months or more is a major public health problem. Worldwide, there are an estimated 240 million
chronically infected persons, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs); causing
650,000 deaths annually due to CHB.
