RESUMEN
El virus de la hepatitis B (VHB), es un virus DNA, el cual tiene varios antígenos, como el antígeno de superficie, y antígeno core. Colombia, es un país de baja endemicidad, sin embargo, en la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, está endemicidad es alta. El VHB tiene como una de sus complicaciones la hipertensión porta. En general, el VHB no atraviesa la placenta, por lo que la infección es rara in utero. Son pocos los pacientes que se presentan con HB y falla hepática fulminante y por lo tanto, son pocos los antivirales que han sido utilizados, con muy poca experiencia.
