Patient's question:
I am an HBV carrier, my wife is not. Will our child be infected with the hepatitis B virus?Doctor's answer:
You can immediately inject hepatitis B immune globulin within 12 hours after the child is born, while also administering the hepatitis B vaccine at different sites. Later, at 1 and 6 months, the child should receive additional hepatitis B vaccine doses. This will basically ensure that the child has a 90% chance of not being affected by your illness!Recommendation: Pay attention to dietary isolation in daily life. Your wife is advised to get tested for hepatitis B antibodies. If the result is negative, it is recommended to receive the hepatitis B vaccine to prevent the disease.
