Hepatitis B
Epidemiology
Hepatitis B is caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV). This is a DNA virus that belongs to the Hepadnaviridae family. It is a small virus formed by an hexagonal core containing the DNA polymerase and DNA. This core is surrounded by surface antigens (1). This virus is responsible of acute and chronic hepatitis, which may lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. It is estimated that by 2015, 257 million people were living with chronic HBV (2). This represents a burden to public health considering the long term complications it may bring.
