Pediatric Hepatitis B

Pediatric Hepatitis B is a viral infection that primarily affects the liver and can be transmitted from mother to child during childbirth or through contact with infected bodily fluids. In children, it can range from a mild illness to a chronic condition that may lead to serious liver problems later in life. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent Hepatitis B, and it is usually given in infancy. Regular medical check-ups are crucial for managing and monitoring liver health in infected children. Awareness and prevention strategies are key in combating this infection.
