.
Viral infection of the liver that can cause
both acute and chronic liver disease²
Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) is a long-
lasting infection and occurs when the
body's immune system is unable to fight
off the virus and it persists in the blood
and liver³
Diagnosis rates remain low - in US and
Europe only ~25% of infections are
diagnosed. Even when treated, cure rates
are very low.
