Why is this important?
Hepatitis B is a liver infection caused by the hepatitis B virus. The hepatitis B virus is spread when a person who has the virus passes it on to someone else through bodily fluids (such as semen or blood). A person who is infected with the virus for a long time may develop health problems such as liver cancer. Children who are infected with the virus are much more likely to develop lifelong (chronic) hepatitis B disease and liver problems.
