Additional information About Hepatitis
Hepatitis B is a virus that causes serious infection. It is carried in the blood and affects the liver and can cause fever, nausea, tiredness, dark urine and yellow skin.
All children at risk of hepatitis B should be protected against this disease. In extreme cases Hepatitis B can destroy the liver and cause death. Other people can be infected with the virus and 'carry'it for a long time (even for life) without knowing. These people are in danger of developing cancer of the liver and cirrhosis (scarring) of the liver later in life. Both of these diseases can kill. People who 'carry' Hepatitis B virus may infect other healthy people with the virus.
In Australia, the rate of diagnosed Hepatitis B infection has increased dramatically over the last 20 years with many thousands of people chronically infected. Rates of infection amongst adolescents and young adults are at least five times the national average.
Hepatitis B virus is usually spread through the blood of an infected person or from mother to child at birth. At an older age the virus can be spread through such activities as unsafe sex, injecting drug use, tattooing or body piercing, using unsterilised equipment and contact sports, when there are cuts or grazes.
