HBV – Endemic Regions
• Up to 30% of population infected
• Vertical transmission at time of birth
• Chronic infection in >90%
• Fibrosis, cirrhosis and hepatoma

HBV – Nonendemic
• Infection usually in adulthood– IDU– Sexual transmission
• Up to 30% jaundiced especially IDU
• Virus cleared in 95%

Hepatitis B and C in Scotland
Hepatitis C• Predominantly IDU• Indigenous• Curable• 6 to 12 months of therapy• High incidence of side
effects• Prevention
– Prevention of IDU– Safe injecting practices
Hepatitis B• Predominantly vertical• Immigrants• Treatable• Life-long therapy?• Low incidence of side
effects• Prevention
– Vaccination– Condoms

Discussion points
• Does she need treatment– Likely mild disease
• Young female, short duration of infection, no alcohol
• Are there any contraindications to treatment– Not obvious
• Is this a good time for treatment– Side effects– Small child, methadone– Teratogenicity of treatment

Hepatitis C conclusion
• There is a lot of it about (1%)• Majority are males of working age• Without treatment large percentage will
progress to cirrhosis• There is a cure• Treatment is arduous but time limited• Support through therapy
– Alteration of work pattern– Psychological– Financial

• Requires specialist referral to stage disease and assess for treatment
• Treatment is safe and effective
• HBV infection is preventable– Vaccination, Condoms, Universal
precautions, Sterile equipment
