What is the expected life duration of Hep B or Hep C patient, from the time he is infected? Can patients be treated easily in Lebanon? are the pills Olysio available in lebanon?

Dr. Rania Mousa General Medicine
There could be full recovery ,with a percentage of recurence,hepatitis B virus infection may be either acute (self-limiting) or chronic (long-standing). Persons with self-limiting infection clear the infection spontaneously within weeks to months.
Children are less likely than adults to clear the infection. More than 95% of people who become infected as adults or older children will stage a full recovery and develop protective immunity to the virus. However, this drops to 30% for younger children, and only 5% of newborns that acquire the infection from their mother at birth will clear the infection.This population has a 40% lifetime risk of death from cirrhosis or hepatocellular carcinoma Of those infected between the age of one to six, 70% will clear the infection.
The patient can be treated in lebanon and they will give the necessary treatment and medical care.
