Answer:

Chronic hepatitis patients.

Step-by-step explanation:

Susceptibility is in medicine a characteristic of a living organism that determines its ability to become ill when in contact with infectious agents.

Susceptibility can also be called a property of a particular strain of bacteria, a population of parasites or viruses. Susceptible organisms are those that die and / or slow down reproduction under the influence of the considered effect (for example, biochemical, in the form of an antibiotic, or physical, in the form of a certain temperature).
