The correct characteristics for Hepatitis B are:

  • Positive HBcAg
  • Range of symptoms
  • Vaccine available
  • Dormant subclinical infection

Explanation:

  1. Positive HBcAg: Hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg) is a component of the Hepatitis B virus, and its presence indicates an active infection.
  2. Range of symptoms: Hepatitis B can present with a wide range of symptoms, from mild to severe, including jaundice, fatigue, and liver damage.
  3. Vaccine available: There is a vaccine available for Hepatitis B, which is highly effective in preventing the infection.
  4. Dormant subclinical infection: Hepatitis B can exist in a dormant state where the individual shows no symptoms but can still transmit the virus.

Incorrect characteristics:

  • High urinary copper: This is associated with Wilson's disease, not Hepatitis B.
  • Transmitted by fecal-oral route: Hepatitis B is primarily transmitted through blood and bodily fluids, not the fecal-oral route (which is more characteristic of Hepatitis A).
