Viral hepatitis (b) is a major global health problem. In fact, the disease comes in second after tobacco as a cause of cancer. In addition, the hepatitis B virus (b) is more infectious than HIV, which causes AIDS. In the United States infected with 300 000 people each year. Almost 5900 people die annually as a result of the disease: 4,000 from cirrhosis of the liver; 1,500 of liver cancer; and 400 of the rapid development of hepatitis.
The risk of viral hepatitis (b) an estimated 5% in the United States. And the ratio of the risk greater for some groups. Most people who get hepatitis B and can resist being expelled from the body, but there are an estimated 5-10% bodies can not get rid of it would become carriers of the disease may develop when a small percentage of them to cirrhosis of the liver, liver cancer, liver failure, or death. In addition, the disease progresses at 10% of those infected become chronic and the person becomes the holder of the virus capable of spreading the disease to others. In the United States there are 1.25 million people infected with chronic infection, and a large percentage of them do not have symptoms. For the Arab world there are more than a million people carry the virus in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia alone. Fortunately, it is possible to prevent infection with the virus to get a vaccination protective of it and follow the ways of prevention.
What are the symptoms of HIV infection?
After infection with the virus 60-120 days symptoms start to appear. But the symptoms appear only in 50% of infected adults, and for infants and children, the percentage of the onset of symptoms are often less. Some people become very sick after contracting the virus.
The symptoms can include:
How is the infection?
We have viral hepatitis (b) in the blood and other body fluids (such as semen - vaginal discharge - breast milk - tears - saliva). And place of infection when exposure to these fluids during sexual intercourse *** the attic, the use of contaminated needles, by mouth, or through a cut or scratch in the skin. Able to viral hepatitis (b) live on the surface of contaminated materials for one month it is possible to infection by participating in the use of shavers or toothbrushes. However, in about 30% of the cases do not know the way in which it was infection.
If we can summarize the methods of transmission of the virus from one person to another as follows:
Am I at risk of HIV infection?
Have you ever disease *** j?
Have you ever lived with my *** more than one partner?
Have you ever participated in the use of needles (injections) or participated in drug abuse by injection common?
Do you make dialysis or receive a blood transfusion or blood products?
Do you live with someone infected with HIV?
Have you ever been to the cupping of the tattoo, piercing to the ear or nose, or genital mutilation?
Can you share one of the tools in shaving or brushing teeth?
Do you work in the area exposed to when dealing with blood or other body fluids?
If you answered yes to any of the questions may be at risk of infection, viral hepatitis (b).
How can I prevent HIV infection?
Does the virus spread (b) through a simple transaction?
Not transmitted viral hepatitis (b) through simple transactions such as:
What happens after infection with HIV?
After infection the immune system to rid the body of the virus at 95% of adults and thus recover within a few months and will not be infected by once again due to the formation of antibodies to the virus which can be detected by a blood test called the anti HP as Anti-HBs. This means that the patient had been cured of this disease will not return to it again and not a carrier of the virus, which will not transmit the virus to others.
The result of this analysis, Anti-HBs is often positive when a person takes your vaccination of viral hepatitis (b).
For about 5% of adults and 25% to 50% of children less than 5 years and 90% of newborns infected with hepatitis viral (b) can not get rid of this virus and become so infected and (or) are carriers of this virus, which can transmitting the virus to other people.
What is the difference between the carrier of the virus and infected with the disease?
Carrier of the virus usually does not occur to him any signs or symptoms of the disease and the liver enzymes had to be normal, but it remains infected for many years or possibly for life and be able to transfer the virus to other. Most carriers of the virus do not suffer from a real problem with viral hepatitis (b) Although they live in good health, but few of them are more likely than others to chronic liver infection, cirrhosis and liver tumors. The tumors usually arise in people who have cirrhosis of the liver.
To prevent the transmission of this virus by the carrier of the virus must not:
Is there a cure for viral hepatitis (b)?
There are drug called interferon and interferon, which proved effective in controlling the disease in about 30% of patients. There are also some other drugs that have proved effective medication, such as newly Lamuvidine to Amoviden. Research is still ongoing to find other drugs are very effective and less complications. Now been the adoption of new property derivative developed for the interferon Beige - peginterferon alfa-interferon and the results are actually very encouraging.
What about the pregnancy if the mother is infected or carriers of the virus (b)?
More than 90% of pregnant women with the virus transmit the infection to their babies at birth, but this must be on pregnant women testing hepatitis (b) during pregnancy to see if they are infected or not, and does not need to vaccinate all children immediately after birth to protect them from infection by the disease and acquire immunity to continue with them for a long time, the vaccination programForced against this virus for all births safeguarding them against the evil of HIV infection and is effective within 95%.

- The dip in the swimming pools in case of wounds in the skin
- See a specialist doctor every 6-12 months for the work of the necessary tests and make sure that the liver is fine
- Away once and for all alcoholic drinks because of their devastating effect on the liver, especially for holders of this virus
- Non-use of medicines only after consulting a doctor and under his supervision and because many drugs can affect the liver
- Eating healthy, balanced diet and regular exercise
- Examination of family members and give the vaccination to non-carriers of the virus and who do not have immunity
- Be wary of becoming infected with the liver (d)
- To the roughness of the liver and swelling
- Pressure on the veins, thereby hindering the flow of blood and then brings pressure portal vein leading to the appearance of varices in the esophagus, stomach, and sometimes that may explode, causing bleeding appears in the form of vomiting, bloody or color shift stool to black and may lead to the appearance of ascites and exposure to an ill-brain and hepatic coma
- Increased susceptibility to the emergence of liver tumors.
