Patient's question:
Husband has, wife has antibodies, after the baby is born, does the baby need to be vaccinated with immunoglobulin?Doctor's answer:
There are cases of parent-to-child transmission, and the child needs to be vaccinated. Under normal circumstances, the hepatitis B vaccine and hepatitis B immune globulin should be administered to pregnant women in the 7th, 8th, and 9th months of pregnancy, and the child should receive these two injections at birth (0, 1, 6 months). Currently, we can only wait until the child is one month old to give them the hepatitis B vaccine and immune globulin, and then wait until six months later to give them the hepatitis B vaccine. This can prevent 98% of hepatitis B virus transmission to the child. There are many treatment methods for chronic hepatitis B, but since the patient's condition varies, the treatment methods also differ. Therefore, it is necessary for the patient to be diagnosed as soon as possible so that the correct treatment can be administered.
