Hepatitis B is a liver infection that is either acute (lasts less than 6 months) or chronic (lasting). Passed from person to person through bodily fluids, hepatitis B is a serious infection, causing symptoms like jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes), fever, nausea, fatigue and more. Chronic hepatitis B increases risk for liver cancer, liver failure, and cirrhosis (scarring of the liver).
