Patient's question:
Previously, I went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with hepatitis B surface antigen positive (HBsAg+). I haven't had a check-up for about half a year.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if you are positive for hepatitis B during pregnancy, it is necessary to undergo regular check-ups during the pregnancy. You should receive a dose of high-titer hepatitis B immune globulin in the 7th, 8th, and 9th months of pregnancy to prevent the transmission of hepatitis B virus from the mother to the fetus during pregnancy.Advice: After the baby is born, immediately administer a dose of high-titer hepatitis B immune globulin. One week later, follow the immunization schedule at months 0, 1, and 6. This can protect over 95% of newborns from vertical transmission of hepatitis B from their infected parents. Additionally, mothers who are positive for hepatitis B should not breastfeed their babies.
