Please tell us the possible treatment for hepatitis B? |

What about ppl who were infected by dis virus but got it treated. Is there still need for such to still go for the vaccine. |
Re: Hepatitis B; From A Medical Laboratory Scientist Perspective by Uglymugg: 11:30am On Jun 27, 2018 |
Sorry to ask this but; if Hepatitis B can be transmitted so easily then why aren't a lot of people dying from this disease? It was only until 2017 that Hep B started getting this much awareness, right around the time a vaccine was found, could it be the company is trying to make money through scare-mongering? I mean, you can get it from kissing someone or having sex with them, that mean a very large number of peeps are living with Hep B yet we don't see death caused by Hep B or is it just the lack of Autopsy in Nigeria? 1 Like 1 Share |

Dannykool:you can't cure Hep B, it's a virus. You get it for life. You can only delay how much it destroys your liver by avoiding alcohol or anything that puts great strain on your liver. You can also treat it with Antiviral drugs, but it's just like HIV, it will only suppress but not cure. 3 Likes |

Oseniade: Good job but I disagree with the sex abstinence thing thugh. Hepatitis B is qute common in Nigeria and trnsmited from mother to child at birth or within household through exchange of body fluids or secretions |

Uglymugg:What is a lot? Who says we don't see death by hepatitis You sound like a person with half knowledge.Do you have any data on the mortality rates ? Hepatitis is a chronic condition Your idea that it was only in 2017 that it became an issue frankly is daft. In many countries you cannot work as a doctor or health professional without vaccination .This has been the case for over 20 years |

eezeribe:What is your point? I can't find where the OP claimed to be a medical practitioner, he clearly stated that he was speaking as a medical laboratory scientist and you can't say they don't come in contact with this issue being that such tests are conducted in a medical lab. Please stop fanning this ember of fire, it doesn't pay to be a warmonger. 16 Likes |

I viewed this thread to see the medical laboratory perspective of hepatitis B virus & infection to get updated, maybe something new that I'm not aware of but didn't pick any other than what is known. That said, I want to say that hepatitis b(HBV) infection is a chronic infection & in most cases, it is self limiting & or asymptomatic. only about 1-5% of patient develop fulminant hepatitis. About 0.5% will develop cancer of the liver.. Facts should be stated clearly esp when educating people . 8 Likes |

LadyJasper: It would have make sense if he had concentrated on the diagnostic(laboratory) aspect of the infection. |

Freddonance:Agreed! But if there were any errors in what was put up, he could have simply pointed them out and corrected them. There was simply no need for the sarcastic comment. We need to be more courteous to each other irrespective of our "levels" in life. 3 Likes |

Wonderboy91: The vaccination is great but we remember it does not confer immunity forever. I took my own shots as an Intern Scientist, when I wanted to travel for a vacation I had to take another shots for vaccination. Viral infections are usually difficult to treat because of the innate ability to take over the biochemical mechanisms of the host cells and replicate millions of progenies. Especially the un-enveloped viruses. 3 Likes |

SoloceeD2: Delving into what you have little knowledge about can be misleading. I never criticized him but stated that he should have concentrated on the laboratory diagnostic aspects of the topic. There are different diagnostic arsenals that can be used & besides some are flawed with false positive results. will it not make sense if he tells us y people who are positive will test negative? will that not interest u? will it not create awareness?? wetin be ur own self?? I do not insult people otherwise..... |

Freddonance: You are being insecure but ashamed to admit it. A medical Scientist is primarily a diagnostician and have every right to discuss diseases. In school, you cannot be able to understand the principle of diagnosis of diseases in the laboratory if you have no grasp of the disease pathogenesis in the first place. Can you go to Prof. Tatfeng a medical scientist (who lectures even your senior colleagues) and tell him to stop discussing diseases? No medical Scientist comes out of the university without studying medical microbiology (which this topic falls under) and other fields of pathology and therapeutics. Be guided. 11 Likes |

phase1:Don't mind that Phul. As if the op mentioned the clinical/physical examination or even prescribed medication in the write up. Medical virology that is even a specialty in medical lab. How can lab scientists who carried out the Hep B profile, handle PCR equipment, talking about tests like DBS, Viral load, CD4 can't talk about virology? Abeg. 8 Likes |

Disjointed information, given by someone who has no business giving it. The shame we found in this country. Google will not replace Lawyers, Doctors and Engineer, and should only be sort to increase patients awareness. Health workers working with body fluids are more prone to Heb B. All health workers are advised to immunize against hepatitis. This is my little contribution. That said, the Lab scientist in Nigeria will soon meet their waterlow. The threw microbiologist and every other course allied to diagnosis away from the lab, and come online to peddle disjointed stuffs, meddling into areas they have vague knowledge about, consolidating their ignorance by Google. A hematologist should write a better piece, not this gibberish written to sway unsuspecting individuals. Pls health workers immunize yourself, that my only advice again. |
