There are 690,000,000 people are infected with hepatitis B virus, and many readers call the Yangzi Evening News asked whether this meant that more than half of our people are suffering from Hepatitis B? Yesterday, this reporter interviewed the experts in the treatment of hepatitis B, the second in Nanjing Zhao Wei, vice president of the hospital. Zhao Wei told reporters that hepatitis B virus-infected people is divided into three types. The first one is hidden infection, hepatitis B virus infection in the only body within the "tourist" of the trip, followed by the body's immune system to clear, eliminated from the body directly from the intestine and was not infected with any pathological reactions in the body There is no residual virus, the health of people is no different. The second is that people living with HIV, hepatitis B virus infection in the body of such long-term "stay" down and start breeding a lot, but the infected person does not have any symptoms of the virus and the body of "peaceful coexistence." The third is that patients with hepatitis B, after a long carry, "peaceful coexistence" state is broken and the beginning of hepatitis B virus attacks the human body liver, leading to a series of digestive tract infection symptoms to appear. Hepatitis B virus in China's total population of the high infection rate is about 57.6 percent, calculated as China's 6.9 billion people have been infected with hepatitis B virus, but the vast majority of the first type of hidden-infected people, the real People living with about 1.2 million, while the number of patients are relatively fewer. The news does not make clear that the "infection" and "infected" the difference between easily lead to misunderstanding. Zhao also said that from a medical point of view, the hepatitis B virus infection rate high in fact quite normal, because we live in an environment everywhere is full of a wide range of viruses and bacteria, the body may be in the moment they are infected However, because of our strong immunity, the majority of the invading virus, bacteria have been removed. When the decline in immunity, these bacteria may be based on the virus to take root and eventually against our bodies. Not to hepatitis B, the most effective way or vaccination. Hepatitis B virus carriers should be regular check-ups at the hospital, close observation of changes in the body.
