According to the Chinese Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Chronic Hepatitis B, there is only about a 5% chance that a newborn will recover from acute hepatitis B virus infection, whereas the chance that an adolescent as well as an adult will recover from acute hepatitis B infection is 90-95%. Hepatitis B is a short form of viral hepatitis B. The disease is caused by infection of the body with the hepatitis B virus. According to the hepatitis B prevention and treatment guidelines, about 5% of newborns who are infected with the hepatitis B virus spontaneously clear the virus and recover from the infection. Adolescents and adults have a 90-95% chance of spontaneously clearing the hepatitis B virus. Although hepatitis B has the possibility of spontaneous recovery, it cannot be ruled out that some patients may develop chronic hepatitis B, which may cause cirrhosis and liver cancer. Therefore, individuals should pay attention to the prevention and treatment of hepatitis B. If you suspect that you are infected with hepatitis B, you should consult a doctor in time.
