What is Hepatitis B Virus?
Most cases of acute viral hepatitis are caused by Hepatitis A virus (HAV), Hepatitis B (HBV), or Hepatitis C virus (HIV). HBV alone is estimated to have infected 400 million people throughout the globe, making HBV one of the most common human pathogens. Hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC), one of the most common cancers afflicting humans, is primarily caused by chronic HBV infection. The complex antigen found in on the surface of HBV is called Hepatitis B surface antigen. HBsAg appears in the patient’s blood from 4~12 weeks on average after infection and precedes onset of clinical symptoms of hepatitis.
