What is the difference between chronic hepatitis b and carrier of hepatitis B?
Chronic hepatitis B refers to a long-term infection with the hepatitis B virus that can lead to liver inflammation and potentially serious complications such as cirrhosis or liver cancer. A carrier of hepatitis B, on the other hand, typically refers to a person who has the virus in their blood but does not exhibit symptoms or have active liver disease. Carriers can still transmit the virus to others, whereas chronic hepatitis B patients often require medical management to prevent disease progression.

Which type of hepatitis can only exist with a hepatitis b co-infection?

Individuals can become infected with hepatitis D simultaneously with hepatitis B or can acquire it later, but it is dependent on hepatitis B for its existence.
