1. Acute Hepatitis B
Acute hepatitis B is the most common variety of hepatitis in adults. Most people will be able to recover from the condition. In many cases, the patient will have made a full recovery from the condition in a few months.
If hepatitis B is considered to be acute, it means the disease will last for less than 6 months. Acute hepatitis B can sometimes become chronic hepatitis B, however. Regardless, it is always a good idea to see a medical professional as soon as you suspect you might have the disease.
