11. What is the progression of acute HBV infection?

I think this just reviews what I basically
told you that the liver becomes acutely infected. The virus replicates, causes inflammation
cell death. If the liver and the body clear the virus,
you get a resolved acute hepatitis B. If the virus stays around and does not clear
in several months, you develop a chronic infection.
