Patient's question:
My wife has hepatitis B minor positive. She went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said it's not infectious. I checked and found that her hepatitis B five items and liver function are normal, just low hepatitis B resistance. The doctor recommended getting three vaccine shots, to be completed within a year. She has now received one shot.Doctor's answer:
Your two pairs of half results do not have hepatitis B surface antibody. However, as long as the surface antigen is positive, it means you are a hepatitis B carrier. Looking at the two pairs of half results alone cannot determine how you were infected. To find out how you were infected, you need to test for hepatitis B virus DNA. If the virus DNA is positive, it means you are infected. There are relatively mature measures to prevent mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B. Immediately after the child is born, hepatitis B immune globulin is administered, along with hepatitis B vaccines at different parts of the body. Then, a third dose of the hepatitis B vaccine is administered at one month, and a second dose at six months. This way, even if the mother's hepatitis B virus DNA is positive, it is highly unlikely that the child will be infected.
