Hepatitis B is a common cause of chronic hepatitis. Patients may be asymptomatic or have nonspecific manifestations such as fatigue and malaise. Without treatment, cirrhosis often develops; risk of hepatocellular carcinoma is increased. Antiviral drugs may help, but liver transplantation may become necessary.
(See also Causes of Hepatitis, Overview of Chronic Hepatitis, and Acute Hepatitis B.)
Hepatitis lasting gt; 6 months is generally defined as chronic hepatitis, although this duration is arbitrary.
Acute hepatitis B becomes chronic in about 5 to 10% of patients overall. However, the younger the age when acute infection occurs, the higher the risk of developing chronic infection:

For infants: 90%
For children aged 1 to 5 years: 25 to 50%
For adults: About 5%

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 850,000 to 2.2 million people in the US (1) and about 257 million people worldwide have chronic hepatitis B (2).
Without treatment, chronic hepatitis B can resolve (uncommon), progress rapidly, or progress slowly to cirrhosis over decades. Resolution often begins with a transient increase in disease severity and results in seroconversion from hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) to antibody to hepatitis B e antigen (anti-HBe). Coinfection with hepatitis D virus (HDV) causes the most severe form of chronic HBV infection; without treatment, cirrhosis develops in up to 70% of patients. Chronic HBV infection increases the risk of hepatocellular carcinoma.

Hepatitis C is a common cause of chronic hepatitis. It is often asymptomatic until manifestations of chronic liver disease occur. Treatment is with direct-acting antiviral drugs; permanent elimination of detectable viral RNA is possible.
(See also Causes of Hepatitis, Overview of Chronic Hepatitis, and Acute Hepatitis C.)
Hepatitis lasting gt; 6 months is generally defined as chronic hepatitis, although this duration is arbitrary.
There are 6 major genotypes of hepatitis C virus (HCV), which vary in their response to treatment. Genotype 1 is more common than genotypes 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6; it accounts for 70 to 80% of cases of chronic hepatitis C in the US.
Acute hepatitis C becomes chronic in about 75% of patients. The Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that about 2.4 million people in the US have chronic hepatitis C infection (1). Worldwide, 71 million people are estimated to have chronic hepatitis C (2).
Chronic hepatitis C progresses to cirrhosis in 20 to 30% of patients; cirrhosis often takes decades to appear. Hepatocellular carcinoma can result from HCV-induced cirrhosis but results only rarely from chronic infection without cirrhosis (unlike in chronic HBV infection).
Up to 20% of patients with alcoholic liver disease harbor HCV. The reasons for this high association are unclear because concomitant alcohol and drug use accounts for only a portion of cases. In these patients, HCV and alcohol act synergistically to worsen liver inflammation and fibrosis.

Vitiation refers to the action of spoiling, impairing, corrupting or making something ineffective, typically in the context of legal contracts or agreements. A contract, for instance, can be vitiated if there was a mistake, misrepresentation or fraud involved in its formation, rendering it invalid or unenforceable. In broader terms, vitiation can also refer to the process of corruption or degradation.
