Hepatitis B Virus: Infection, liver disease, carcinogen or syndemic threat? Remodelling the clinical and public health response
- Abstract:
- Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a blood-borne virus that establishes chronic liver infection, associated with potential complications of cirrhosis and/or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). As such, it poses a major threat to global public health, accounting for 300 million chronic infections, and more than 500,000 deaths each year It can also be regarded as a 'syndemic' challenge-namely, as one component of multiple, complex interacting health and social needs.
