Hepatitis B virus infection is still a big problem in public health worldwide. Hepatitis B contributes 80% to the cause of primary hepatocellular carcinoma and is also the second most common cause of cancer after smoking. In special populations, the management given is different from the management of hepatitis B patients who are not included in special populations. This is because in special populations there have been changes in the natural history of the disease, the risk of complications related to the liver, recommendations for VHB drugs to be used, and the duration of therapy. This study aimed to obtain the managemeny of hepatitis B in special populations. This was a literature review study using 10 literatures searched by using three data bases namely ProQuest, Pubmed, and ClinicalKey. Journals were selected based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. The results showed that the management of hepatitis B in special populations adjusted to the conditions of each population. In conclusion, the management of hepatitis B in special populations has a variety of treatments that are made according to the condition of each population, including the treatment strategy, drug selection, duration of administration, and monitoring needed during the therapy.
