Although Hepatitis B can be spread by blood and blood products, today the main method of dissemination is sexual contact. Ms. JS's unfaithful boyfriend contracted it in one of his escapades. He brought it home. His flu-like illness 4 months back was, in fact, hepatitis. Believe it or not, the majority of people who come down with Hepatitis B don't become jaundiced.
Ms. JS will recover, but not everyone is so lucky. A small percentage will develop chronic hepatitis, where: the virus persists for years, possibly the life of the person, the continuously mounted T4 lymphocyte response results in destruction of the liver.

• It becomes an autoimmune injury.
• People who end up with chronic hepatitis, never develop an antibody to the surface antigen of Hepatitis B.       No surface antibody, no immunity.

So what's important with this case?                                                             Back
