Hepatitis B Virus is the full name of the pathogen causing hepatitis B. Long term effects of this virus can ultimately lead to death, but may also include liver failure, hives, ulcers, jaundice, fatigue, nausea etc. Treatment for acute infections can include rest and hydration seeing as how the virus can run its course and self resolve. However, chronic infections may require long term antiviral therapy routes aimed at eliminating inflammation of the liver. Some cases are so severe that a liver transplant is necessary. Interferon is one of the most common injection medications that combats this virus.
