Hepatitis B E antibody (HBeAb) negative (-)
Hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) positive (+)
I received a hepatitis B vaccine shot five years ago. I am currently more than 17 weeks pregnant. Will this affect my fetus? Do I need to start receiving a series of immune shots at 28 weeks (for three consecutive months)? My baby
Doctor's answer:
Hello: A positive hepatitis B surface antibody and hepatitis B core antibody indicate past infection with the hepatitis B virus, with remaining immunity. This is considered an atypical recovery phase, or it could also be an acute hepatitis B infection. It generally has no significant impact on the fetus.Generally, doctors recommend that women with signs of pregnancy complicated by hepatitis should maintain a balanced diet, avoid spicy and stimulating foods, and stay away from cold foods. Additionally, patients should pay attention to maintaining a comfortable environment, which is also beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
