Hepatitis B is one of the most common infectious viral diseases in the world, infecting approximately two billion people worldwide. It is a virus that infects the liver. Hepatitis B infections are either acute or chronic. Acute hepatitis B can last from a few weeks to a few months. Most people with acute infection will fully recover and not have any lasting health problems. Chronic Hepatitis B is more serious. A person with chronic hepatitis B may have the disease for life. Chronic hepatitis B can lead to more serious liver disease, including liver cancer.
