45-180 days.
37
After active viral replication has stopped, is there still inc. risk of HCC? - in HBV: - in HCV:
- yes in HBV - integrates into host genome. | - no in HCV. - chronic inflammation led to inc. risk of HCC, so once infection contained, no more chronic inflam.
38
Most common outcome of HBV infection in adults (95%) =
-acute hepatitis w/mild or subclinical Sxs that eventually completely resolves.
