Talk:2009 Gujarat hepatitis outbreak

Untitled
According to the Hepatitis B Virus article, the disease is rarely so aggressive that it kills soon after it is transmitted. And, according to the Hepatitis B Vaccine article, the vaccination procedure is not as straight forward as suggested by the present article. So, the latter must be clarified and further info must be added to it. Q43 (talk) 21:24, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
 * We need to wait until more is known. Your are right about the incubation period of hepatitis B, but it is not known how long this is has been going on. I suspect the transmission via the contaminated syringes occurred some weeks, or even months ago. Also, the Delta agent might be implicated. Your may also right about the vaccination, but experience has shown that it is an effective Post-exposure prophylaxis. My advice, is to keep the content the article to what is known—no doubt it will be expanded later based on reliable sources. Graham Colm Talk 22:11, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

DNS Virus?
This page as well as the Hepatitus B page describe Hepatitus B as a DNA_virus. However, the DNA_virus page specifically mentions that Hepatitus B is not classified as a DNA virus. Which is right?

The virus contains partially double-stranded DNA. It is a reverse-transcribing DNA virus. That DNA virus stub needs a lot of work. Graham Colm Talk 13:56, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

90,000 infected?!
None of the citations support the claim in the header that 90,000 have been infected. Is this vandalism? 173.9.23.94 (talk) 19:51, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
