Chronische <strong>Hepatitis</strong> B zählt nach wie<br />
vor zu den häufigsten Infektionskrankheiten<br />
– weltweit sind etwa 350 Millionen<br />
Menschen infiziert. In Österreich<br />
gibt es jährlich bis zu 1.500 Neuerkrankungen.<br />
<strong>Hepatitis</strong> B – die zehnthäufigste Todesursache<br />
– ist hundertmal ansteckender als<br />
das AIDS-Virus.<br />
Bei <strong>Hepatitis</strong> B kommt es zu einer Entzündung<br />
der Leber. Im Akutstadium<br />
kann unser Immunsystem die Erkrankung<br />
ausheilen. Kommt es innerhalb<br />
von sechs Monaten zu keiner Heilung,<br />
entwickelt sich die chronische Form der<br />
<strong>Hepatitis</strong> B. Dabei wird die Leber langsam<br />
zerstört, was zum Tod führen kann.<br />
Daher muss bei der chronischen <strong>Hepatitis</strong><br />
B je nach Krankheitsverlauf eine<br />
medikamentöse Therapie in Erwägung<br />
gezogen werden.<br />
Chronic hepatitis B is still one of the<br />
most widespread infectious diseases,<br />
with around 350 million people around<br />
the world affected. Up to 1,500 new<br />
cases are diagnosed in Austria every year.<br />
<strong>Hepatitis</strong> B – the tenth most-frequent<br />
cause of death – is a hundred times more<br />
infectious than the AIDS virus.<br />
<strong>Hepatitis</strong> B causes inflammation of the<br />
liver. Acute hepatitis B can be cured by<br />
our immune system. Should it not be<br />
cured within six months, the chronic<br />
form of hepatitis B develops. This gradually<br />
destroys the liver, and can kill. For<br />
this reason, depending on the pathogenesis,<br />
the administration of medication<br />
must be considered for the treatment of<br />
chronic hepatitis B.<br />
Hronični hepatitis B ubraja se i nadalje<br />
u najčešća infektivna oboljenja,<br />
širom svijeta inficirano je oko 350<br />
milijuna ljudi. U Austriji godišnje<br />
ima do 1.500 novo oboljelih osoba.<br />
<strong>Hepatitis</strong> B je deseti po redu<br />
najčešći uzrok smrti i sto<br />
puta je zarazniji od virusa<br />
AIDS-a.<br />
Kod hepatitisa B<br />
dolazi do upale jetre.<br />
U akutnom stadiju naš<br />
imuni sustav može da<br />
izliječi oboljenje. Ako<br />
u roku od šest mjeseci<br />
ne dođe do izlječenja,<br />
razvija se hronični oblik<br />
hepatitisa B. Pritom dolazi do<br />
sporog uništenja jetre, što može dovesti do<br />
smrti. Stoga se kod hroničnog hepatitisa B<br />
zavisno od toka oboljenja mora razmotriti<br />
mogućnost terapije lijekovima.<br />
