The Epidemiology of HBV Infection, Its Management, and The Challenges of Hepatitis B Control in China.

Abstract

This study aims to discuss the epidemiology of HBV infection, its management, and the challenges of hepatitis B control in China. PubMed and other resources of the national library of medicine under the national institute of health were searched. Other sources such as the British medical journal were looked at as well. The reference list of all related articles was reviewed. Retrospective and prospective cohort studies that examined the epidemiology, management  and challenges of HBV infection between from 1992 up to present. It is of great importance to challenge the issue of HBV infection head-on given its widespread occurrence, the risk it poses for severe liver conditions, its  transmission routes, the presence of detected cases, the associated stigma, its economic implications, the potential for prevention, and its global consequences. By uniting forces and  efforts focused on education, testing, and treatment, the Chinese government coupled with compliance from  the masses  can take substantial steps towards managing and eventually eradicating HBV as a public health concern.
