Patient's question:
Is jaundice contagious?Doctor's answer:
Generally, jaundice is not contagious. It is a phenomenon of skin yellowing caused by the accumulation of bilirubin due to poor liver excretion function. People with jaundice have liver problems, and hepatitis cannot be ruled out. Therefore, if you don't know whether the other person has hepatitis, it is best to be cautious, cut off the transmission routes, manage the sources of infection, and protect those who are easily infected with hepatitis, especially young children.
