Patient's question:
I went to the hospital to see a patient with acute severe hepatitis. They have jaundice. They stayed in the hospital for several hours. Will I get infected? Do I need to get vaccinated? Also, I went to the CT room today to accompany them. I am planning to get pregnant in the near future. Will it be affected?Doctor's answer:
In hepatitis, there is a possibility of infection with viral hepatitis. Generally, one will not be infected through casual contact. If you do not use the patient's utensils or come into contact with their secretions, you will generally not be infected. For severe hepatitis patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and follow the doctor's advice for prompt treatment. Do not change medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect. It is advised to go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
