Core Tip	Severe hepatitis B (SHB) is a fast progressing form of hepatitis infection with a low eradication rate. Patients with SHB have dysregulated ratios of T helper cells, observed as elevated levels of T helper 17 cells and reduced regulatory T cells. This study demonstrates that these levels can be rebalanced with glucocorticoid treatment. However, failure to rectify the imbalance likely will results in the progression of SHB and eventually cause death.
