Patient's question:
When a child undergoes the hepatitis B five-item test, what does it mean if all the test results are negative?Doctor's answer:
The child's hepatitis B panel is negative, indicating no previous infection with the hepatitis B virus, but also no hepatitis B vaccination has been administered. If the vaccination has been administered, it suggests that protective antibodies have not been produced.Advice: The child can receive the hepatitis B vaccine to promote the production of protective antibodies in the body and prevent hepatitis B infection. If the vaccine was previously administered, it indicates that the immune system did not produce antibodies, so re-vaccination is necessary, and a product with higher efficacy should be selected.
