Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to describe participants 6 months to \<18 years of age with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in a prospective cohort in the United States (US) and Canada and identify predictors of disease activation and progression.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

•Primary Aim:

o To describe participants 6 months to \<18 years of age with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in a prospective cohort in the United States (US) and Canada and identify predictors of disease activation and progression

Secondary Aims:

* To describe clinical, virological, and immunological characteristics of participants with HBV in the US and Canada.
* To evaluate changes in HBV infection status and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) levels and factors associated with those changes.
* To verify whether a baseline HBsAg below 1,000 IU/mL and HBV DNA below 1,000 IU/mL is an accurate predictor of people who are, or who will become, inactive carriers, defined as people who are HBsAg positive, hepatitis B "e" antigen (HBeAg) negative, have normal alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and HBV DNA under 1,000 IU/mL on at least two occasions over a period of at least 6 months with HBV DNA under 1,000 IU/mL.
* To assess the health related quality of life (HRQOL) of treatment naïve hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive children and adolescents
* To develop a bank of biospecimens (e.g., serum, plasma, DNA, liver tissue) obtained from participants with HBV infection.
* To identify pediatric participants from 2 years to \<18 years of age with chronic HBV infection for potential participation in treatment study to be conducted by the Hepatitis B Research Network (HBRN).
