Sažetak

Infection with hepatitis B virus can be manifested
either as asymptomatic infection or as acute disease
with various clinical manifestations, from mild to fulminant
hepatitis. The outcome of the infection is also complex, from
normalization of all laboratory tests, elimination of the virus,
inactive carrier state of HBsAg without signs of clinical disease,
to persistent infection with signs of chronic liver disease. The
sequelae of persistent infection may be serious such as liver
cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma. At present time, the
accurate diagnosis of all forms of the disease, effi cient protection
of risk population and antiviral treatment for severe forms
of the disease, such as acute fulminant hepatitis and chronic
hepatitis, are available. The aim of this paper is to present new
knowledge about the pathogenesis, diagnostic procedures, prophylaxis
and treatment of hepatitis B in order to better understand
the disease, inform our patients about protection from
this disease, analyze possible consequences of the infection,
and review present status of available therapies of acute and
chronic forms of the disease.
