To explain: The reason why excess bleeding from trauma occur in Person J.B. with chronic hepatitis B.
Concept introduction: Hepatitis B infection is caused by hepatitis B virus that attacks liver by causing liver inflammation, fibrosis, and liver failure. It can be acute or chronic. The disease is primarily transmitted from infected blood transfusions and body fluids. There is a high risk of transmission of disease from an infected person to another through sexual intercourse or blood transfusions. The disease becomes worse and develops into chronic hepatitis within six months or years of infection (depends on the age and immunity of the infected person). Hepatitis B infection is not curable but is treatable to reduce the severity of the disease.
