Hepatitis B Support Group
Hepatitis B virus infection may either be acute (self-limited) or chronic (long-standing). Persons with self-limited infection clear the infection spontaneously within weeks to months. There are currently several treatments for chronic hepatitis B that can increase a person's chance of clearing the infection.

TAIPEI, Taiwan -- National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) yesterday announced that it is cooperating with a pharmaceutical factory to develop a new medicine aimed at curing hepatitis B virus carriers, noting that the medicine may be completed by as early as 2015.
Taiwan University College of Medicine professor and Academia Sinica member Chen Ding-shinn () said current medications used to treat hepatitis only stop the virus from reproducing.
The cooperation between the NTUH and the pharmaceutical factory will focus on curing hepatitis B virus carriers, Chen said, and ensure the effectiveness and safety of the new medicine.
Results in the development phase of the new medicine have so far been positive, which means hepatitis B could be completely cured in the future. However, it might take longer to get the new medicine on the market, said Chen.
Chen Pei-jer (), a professor at National Taiwan University College of Medicine Graduate Institute of Clinic Medicine, said the greatest challenge so far for researchers of hepatitis B treatment is that current medicines only restrain the virus instead of killing it.
According to initial research, Chen Pei-jer said, a certain compound has the ability to wipe out the hepatitis B virus.
Chen Pei-jer said that the NTUH has a great hepatitis B evaluation system and database while the pharmaceutical factory can provide a hepatitis B medicine that is different, so in light of this the cooperation represents a great opportunity to develop a new medicine that will benefit hepatitis B virus carriers.
According to statistics from the Bureau of National Health Insurance (NHI), there are around 2.4 million hepatitis B virus carriers in Taiwan and at least 12,000 people die from liver disease annually.
The NHI's statistics also showed that liver disease medicine was the best-selling medicine in Taiwan last year and the annual cost of medicine to treat hepatitis B is NT$2 billion.
Chen Ding-shinn noted that although hepatitis B vaccines started 29 years ago, there remain many hepatitis B virus carriers in Taiwan that should receive treatment.
Through the free screening provided by the Bureau of Health Promotion, Chen Ding-shinn said, more hepatitis B virus carriers can receive regular checkups as part of decreasing the risks related to suffering from liver cancer.
