Patient's question:
Dad has chronic hepatitis B, Mom has antibodies, and she is 38 weeks pregnant, about to have a cesarean section. What should be done after the baby is born to effectively prevent transmission?Doctor's answer:
Hello: If the mother has not been infected, the child will not be infected now. Please do not worry too much.Advice: It is recommended to vaccinate the baby within 24 hours after birth. The earlier the vaccination, the better. The other two doses should also be administered on schedule. In daily life, pay a little more attention to avoid close contact with the baby, especially when the baby is under 6 months old and has not completed the full course of vaccination. This is for the baby's sake. I hope my answer can help you.
Doctor's inquiry: Have you had a viral load test for chronic hepatitis B?
