Additional measures have been put in place to avoid the possibility of a similar exposure in the future.” Hepatitis B is a potentially life-threatening virus that attacks the liver. The virus is spread through bodily fluids. The hospital did not disclose how the patients may have contracted the virus. Hospital officials did not say how the patients might have been exposed.
