Is it affected if the father is an hepatitis B patient and the mother has antibodies?

Patient's question:

Father is an HBV carrier, mother has antibodies, the infant born received the hepatitis B vaccine but did not receive high-dose hepatitis B immune globulin. Will it inherit hepatitis B?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, this situation will not occur. Advice: For a fetus to be infected with hepatitis B, the mother must have a positive hepatitis B surface antibody. The father's influence is minimal, and since the mother also has antibodies, there is no need to worry. There are many causes of pediatric liver disease. If the child is confirmed to have pediatric liver disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in the child and maintain a balanced diet.
