Patient's question:
My son is three and a half years old. He recently had two and a half of the five tests come back negative. He has already received three doses of the hepatitis B vaccine.Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis B is a disease caused by infection with the hepatitis B virus. The hepatitis B virus is a hepatotropic virus that primarily exists within liver cells and damages them, leading to liver cell inflammation, necrosis, and fibrosis. Hepatitis B is difficult to treat, and there is currently no specific medication available. You can try treating it with interferon.
