Hepatitis B Virus No Less Life Threatening Than Lung Cancer Itself!

The hepatitis B virus is among those specimens that are as wide spread as is possible

, and is equally life threatening accounting for millions of life each year all across the globe.

Even though the existence of the hepatitis B virus was known about a few centuries back, the search for a complete and all encompassing and medically safe treatment to the dreaded Hepatitis B disease is still very much on. Though, it is also true that with each passing day, researchers are coming up with new medically acceptable solutions for this highly infectious ailment that in many cases leads to lung cancer as well.

More recently, an adult anti viral drug has been found to be very effective in curbing the growth of the hepatitis B virus in human being, particularly the adolescents. Those in their teens acquire the hepatitis B virus because of various factors that include smoking, a non-nutritious diet, and contact with persons already afflicted with this virus menace.

More specifically put, recent clinical trials have established that the adult anti viral drug, tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (tenofovir DF)is very much capable of fighting the growth of the hepatitis B virus in the systems of those who are in their teens.

This rather vital research breakthrough has been published in the December 2012 issue of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases (AASLD) published journal called Hepatology. Their study reveals that when it came to pediatric patients, this particular anti viral drug that goes by the name of tenofovir DF was able to suppress the hepatitis B virus in their systems and thereby cured the diseases itself.

Worldwide, chronic hepatitis B is a major health concern and it is pretty widespread and has a tendency to linger on for a prolonged period of time. Most children who have some basic level of hepatitis B virus infection are prone to more serious liver related ailments in their adulthood.

There are well over 350 million people suffering in the world with one or the other level of the hepatitis B virus that is very much a life threatening health condition. Annually, it is believed no less than 600,000 succumb to this disease alone globally.

In the USA, the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that there are a minimum of one million Americans who suffer from the Hepatitis B disease. And out of this vast enough figure, nearly 90 per cent have developed some kind of hepatitis symptoms in their childhood itself. And only t has got aggravated with age.

Again, a good 25 per cent of hepatitis B cases end up developing cirrhosis or liver cancer at some point in their life.
