Patient's question:
Because I am an HBsAg positive patient, my child has been an HBsAg positive patient since birth. Now he is five years old and it's time to go to kindergarten. I want to ask the experts if a child with HBsAg positivity can attend kindergarten.Doctor's answer:
Patient, hello: The answer is yes. To protect the hepatitis B population and control the spread of hepatitis B, all young children attending kindergarten are now vaccinated against hepatitis B. Therefore, friend, you no longer need to worry about whether a child with hepatitis B minor positive can attend kindergarten, nor do you need to worry about discrimination issues during their school years.However, there is one thing I would like to tell you: it is best to wait until the child’s condition stabilizes before sending them to kindergarten. From recent physical examination data, it has been found that among young children who carry the hepatitis B virus, those from rural areas are more numerous than those from urban areas. This is largely due to factors such as inadequate maternal and infant prevention measures.
Additionally, it is important for kindergarten teachers to educate other children not to discriminate against children with hepatitis B minor positive. This will greatly benefit the child’s mental health. If the physical examination results show hepatitis B surface antigen positivity, e antigen positivity, or other more serious conditions, the child should be treated at a professional liver disease hospital. After treatment and recovery, they can attend kindergarten.
