Abstract
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) remains a significant problem worldwide. Despite years of research on this disease, the treatment and management of children with chronic HBV remains a veritable challenge. Although it is less evident in developed countries, HBV still affects immigrants and adopted children from endemic countries. This article discusses the role of the pediatric nurse practitioner in the management of children with chronic hepatitis B in the primary care setting.
