In some people, the hepatitis B virus can also cause a chronic liver infection that can later develop into cirrhosis of the liver or liver cancer. More than 90% of healthy adults who are infected with the hepatitis B virus will recover naturally from the virus within the first year. The virus is transmitted through contact with the blood or other body fluids of an infected person. 2  An estimated 240 million people are chronically infected with hepatitis B (defined as hepatitis B surface antigen positive for at least 6 months).
Acute viral hepatitis is inflammation of the liver caused by infection with one of the five hepatitis viruses. In most people, the inflammation begins suddenly and lasts only a few weeks. Symptoms range from none to very severe.
