i know my question isnt really related to the topic but i wanna know if a person can be a carrier for hepatitis? or are everyone sufferers?

Hepatitis is caused by HSV which is (IMMSMR) HSV type II or in slang language it's called HBV. This virus cause Hepatocellular carcinoma...

PS: what I mean above is for the term of Hepatitis B dissease..

@Dr. Stein
can Leukemia (those 4 types above) caused by infectious agents?? because a far as I remember, those 4 types are inherited as genetic dissease cause by chromosome aberation..

Yes, as much as I know a person can be a carrier. But that does not mean none of the symptoms are seen. ( I mean it is not like being carrier of a genetic disease.) Carriers usually do not have the symptoms, but soomer or later symptoms start.
This is what I've heard from a doctor.

can a carrier be cured for this?

and mr mistery
tnx for spliting!!!!

Ahhh...talking about hepatitis, I'm really sorry for my previous post. I made a mistake and now, I'll try to make a correction for it.
Actually hepatitis is caused by a virus from family Hepadnaviridae, genus Orthohepadnavirus. This virus cause dissease by creating carcinoma hepatocellular.

A much as I know, the exact cure is not found yet.

Actually vic, it really depends on the type of hepatits. I don't know taxonomy of viri, but you can get hepatitis A from unwashed food when you can only get hepatitis B if you come into contact with an infected person's fluids. Hepatitis D is not even caused by a virus, it caused by a viroid, located in the capsid of the hepatitis B virus

Yup, I've also read that they are till hepatitis G viruses...um, what I said above was for Hepatitis B virus (HBV)
