Hepatitis B is one of the infectious diseases badly affecting the lungs due to the hepatitis B virus(HBV). For a few people, this infection may become chronic, that means it can last for as long as six months. When you have chronic hepatitis B infection, you are at a high risk of getting permanent liver damage, cirrhosis(a condition that may permanently scar the liver), or even liver cancer that may prove fatal. Fortunately, many individuals with severe risks and infections of hepatitis B may get recovered if they take the recommended vaccination as prescribed by the doctor. Children and infants have more chances of getting the hepatitis B chronic infection. However, if you get infected with HBV at a later stage, the condition cannot be cured even after vaccination.

This may range from mild to severe. They generally occur after 3-4 months after you have been infected with the virus. Also, you can notice them even within 2 weeks of being infected.
