Patient's question:
My husband took the good computer back from the store. This computer has been used by many people, and they are quite diverse. My husband just put it on the sofa directly. After the child touched the keyboard, he played with it for a while and then started eating his hands. Will he get infected with hepatitis or other viruses?Doctor's answer:
That should be fine, but children still need to be taught the habit of washing their faces before meals and after using the restroom. In the future, you should remind the child not to do this. If it's a season with a high prevalence of hepatitis A, it could lead to hepatitis A transmission. However, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and other viral hepatitis are mainly spread through blood and sexual transmission. Therefore, spread through the digestive tract should be hepatitis A and hepatitis E. Acute hepatitis generally has a very good prognosis. If there are no symptoms now, it should be fine. Thank you.
