How is mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B treated?

Patient's question:

From a young age, it should be the hepatitis B virus transmitted from mother to child. Many people in the family have it, but they have never had any adverse symptoms, and their liver function has always been normal.

Doctor's answer:

Female carriers of the hepatitis B virus can achieve a relatively high success rate through the use of hepatitis B immunoglobulin for prevention. Generally, injections of hepatitis B immunoglobulin are administered during the 7th, 8th, and 9th months of pregnancy to prevent intrauterine infection of the fetus. Additionally, after the baby is born, injections of hepatitis B immunoglobulin and hepatitis B vaccine are given within 24 hours to effectively block transmission, resulting in a high success rate.
