Hepatitis B
A viral hepatitis can be caused by different agents, but the most common is the hepatitis B virus. The disease is of particular importance for the high number of chronic carriers around the world.
The virus is most common within people using intravenous drugs and men who have relations with the same sex. Nevertheless the most transmisions happen in sexual relations between men and women. Medical staff also has a higher risk than the average population.
The Virus can not only be detected in blood, but also in saliva, sperm and vaginal secretion.
Pulmonary embolism
Pulmonary embolism is the blockage of the pulmonary artery or one of its branches. The most common cause is a venous thrombus, but the blockage can also be caused by cells, air, drops of fat or foreign objects.
