Yes. Hepatitis B can survive in dried blood. If you live around people with Hepatitis B, a vaccine is available. You should get it. In fact, you should get it anyway. Hepatitis A and B can be prevented by a vaccine. Why take the risk?

The pathogens themselves conveniently share similar names to the type of hepatitis they cause: The pathogen that causes Hepatitus A is known as the Hepatitis A Virus (HAV), the pathogen that causes Hepatitus B is known as the Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) and the pathogen that causes Hepatitus C is known as the Hepatitis C Virus (HCV).


How do you find out if someone has hepatitis?

All types of hepatitis are diagnosed with a blood test.The hepatitis virus panel is a series of blood tests used to detect current or past infection by hepatitis A, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C. It can screen blood samples for more than one kind of hepatitis virus at the same time.Antibody and antigen tests can detect each of the different hepatitis viruses.Note: Hepatitis D only causes disease in people who also have hepatitis B. It is not routinely checked on a hepatitis antibody panel. http://www.std-gov.org/stds/hepatitis.htm http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003558.htm

What is the name of the organism that causes hepatitis b?

Hepatitis B is a viral infection. It is a virus. Only one virus causes Hepatitis B. It infects the liver. A vaccine exists to prevent it. It is blood borne. If you are in the same room with someone who has it, you will not catch it. Do not share needles, razors, or anything that could move their body fluids to you. Hepatitis B can be treated. Other liver infections exist. Hepatitis A generally results when an infected person prepares your food. Hepatitis C is blood borne. Anything one person does that gets body fluids from one person into another spreads the virus. Hepatitis D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, and M also exist. Those liver infections are caused by different pathogens. (I do not have the first idea about any of those diseases. Someone came back from Atlanta and passed on that information.)


What is the name of the pathogen that causes hepatitis C?

Hepatitis B is caused by the Hepatitis B virus (HBV). Hepatitis C is caused by the Hepatitis C virus (HCV). Hepatitis B virus belongs to the family Hepadnaviridae, and the genus Orthohepadnavirus. Hepatitis C virus belongs to the family Flaviviridae, and the genus Hepacivirus.
