Dr. Jin Zhongkui
High fever in hepatitis B virus (HBV) is generally one of the manifestations of HBV carrier infection. Patients with HBV carrier infection may present symptoms such as fever, fatigue, headache, and malaise, among which fever is the most common. Typically, HBV-related high fever ranges between 37.5°C and 40°C, and may persist for a prolonged period or even recur. With improved dietary regulation, appropriate antiviral treatment can be effective in helping HBV carriers recover promptly. Moreover, timely medical consultation is crucial; early initiation of antiviral therapy helps reduce disease progression and prevent the development of chronic hepatitis B.
