Description
Hepatitis B Structure: Capsid Flexibility and FunctionThe hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a DNA virus belonging to the Hepadnaviridae family that specifically causes an infection of the liver. It is an enveloped, double-shelled virus that can cause either a short-term (acute) or a long-term (chronic) infection, which can lead to serious complications like liver cirrhosis and liver cancer. HBV is transmitted through contact with infected blood or other body fluids, such as from mother to child during birth, unprotected sex, or sharing needles. What it is Pathogen: A virus that targets and replicates in the liver cells (hepatocytes). Structure: It is a double-shelled, spherical virus approximately 42 nm in diameter. Infection: It can be either acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term). Chronic infections are a major health concern as they can lead to severe liver damage over time. Complications: Chronic HBV infection significantly increases the risk of developing cirrhosis (scarring of the liver), liver failure, and liver cancer. How it spreads Mother to child: Transmission can occur during childbirth. Sexual contact: Unprotected sex with an infected person. Blood and bodily fluids: Sharing needles, syringes, or other drug equipment, or contact with infected blood or other bodily fluids like saliva or semen. Healthcare settings: Accidental exposure to sharp instruments in healthcare settings. Note: HBV is not spread through casual contact such as hugging, sharing utensils, or food and water. Prevention and management Vaccine: A safe and effective vaccine is available and recommended for all infants, healthcare workers, and others at risk of exposure. Treatment: There is no cure for HBV, but chronic cases can be managed with antiviral medications to slow liver damage. Monitoring: Regular monitoring by a doctor is crucial for individuals with chronic hepatitis B to check for signs of liver disease progression.
