Answer:
The only condition not associated with spectrum of HBV disease is osteoarthritis.
Explanation:
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative process of the articular cartilage, which produces pain and functional limitation in the affected joint.
The loss of cartilage —produced by osteoarthritis degenerative changes— allows the contact of bone surfaces, which produce overgrowth and bone degeneration. It is a condition that is not related to infection by hepatitis B virus.
Hepatitis B (HB )is a viral infection, produced by HBV, which in a small percentage of cases produces chronic hepatitis. HB in chronic phase leads to destruction and scarring of the liver parenchyma, cirrhosis and an increased risk of liver cancer.
