Hepatitis b
Your liver is the largest organ inside your body. It helps your body digest food, store energy, and remove poisons. Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver. One type, hepatitis B, is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). Hepatitis B spreads by contact with an infected person's blood, semen, or other body fluid. An infected woman can give hepatitis B to her baby at birth.If you get HBV, you may feel as if you have the flu. You may also have jaundice, a yellowing of skin and eyes, dark-colored urine, and pale bowel movements. Some people have no symptoms at all. A blood test can tell if you have it. HBV usually gets better on its own after a few months. If it does not get better, it is called chronic HBV, which lasts a lifetime. Chronic HBV can lead to cirrhosis (scarring of the liver), liver failure, or liver cancer.There is a vaccine for HBV. It requires three shots. All babies should get the vaccine, but older children and adults can get it too. If you travel to countries where Hepatitis B is common, you should get the vaccine.NIH: National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases

Medi Facts5 Likes14 Answers A 33-year-old male has a history of tubercular meningitis and had brain surgery in Dubai. An implant (don't know the detail) was placed in the brain 7 years back. Post surgery he came to India and was put on steroids and anti-tubercular drugs which he stopped taking 1 year back. He is still not able to walk properly after these many years. But goes for 15-20 minutes' walk 2-3 times a day. He also complaints of left hand swelling with pain and right knee pain often (for 1-2 days in a week), which gets relieved with pain killers to some extent. He is a well-educated intellectual person, sometimes he forgets things which happened 1 hour or a day ago and has Slutter speech. He doesn't remember any details about the time of surgery and was in coma for many days. I don't have much detail about the case, I might arrange if you have any doubt. MRI at the point is not possible as he can't tolerate long MRI scan. What do you think about this case and its prognosis doctors?
