❇️ In Acute HBV infection:
▫️More than 95% of immunocompetent individuals with acute infection will achieve seroconversion with appearance of antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen in the absence of treatment. Therefore, supportive care is usually all that is needed in most patients.

🔹 Disease-related inflammation & stress
🔹 Nutritional deficiencies (iron, zinc, vitamin D, B12, protein)
🔹 Medications (thiopurines, methotrexate, steroids)
🔹 Stress, surgery, autoimmune overlap (alopecia areata)
✨ The key: identify and treat the underlying cause.
✅ Most cases are diffuse, non-scarring, and improve once triggers are addressed.
