Patient's question:
My husband has chronic hepatitis B with an elevated level of surface antigen (HBsAg positive), but his liver function tests are normal and his HBV DNA is positive. I tested negative for all five hepatitis markers during my third month of pregnancy. Will the baby be infected at birth? How can the transmission be prevented at birth?Doctor's answer:
Based on your self-examination results, if you don't have hepatitis B antibodies, it's very easy to get infected. The other party has chronic hepatitis B (), which makes it easy to transmit the virus to the child. It is necessary to immediately administer anesthetic hepatitis B autoimmunoglobulin after the later stage of pregnancy and immediately after birth to block the progression of chronic hepatitis B (). The condition is very serious, and it is recommended that the patient seek immediate treatment. It is hoped that the patient can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment. At the same time, pay attention to self-care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
