THE VIRUS. Hepatitis B is the worldâs most common liver infection. Hep B is a serious and potentially deadly liver infection. It is caused by becoming infected with the hep B virus (HBV). It can cause serious liver problems like inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis, and liver cancer. In the U.S., chronic (long-term) hep B affects many people.
Hepatitis B is spread by exposure to body fluids (needles from drug abusers, contaminated blood, and sexual contact) and can cause an acute infection, but can also progress to cause chronic inflammation (chronic hepatitis) that can lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer.
