Patient's question:
What are the methods for preventing hepatitis B transmission from mothers to infants in cases of chronic hepatitis B infection?Doctor's answer:
The female is an HBV carrier and is classified as a "HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B patient." During the 7th, 8th, and 9th months of pregnancy, she needs to receive a high-dose hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) shot to prevent the spread of the hepatitis B virus from the mother to the fetus during childbirth. After the baby is born, she should receive another high-dose HBIG shot and the first dose of the hepatitis B vaccine. The second dose should be administered one month later, and the third dose six months later.Additionally, for HBeAg-positive chronic hepatitis B patients during treatment, their dietary condition and care are also very important. The patient must pay attention to rest and engage in appropriate activity to avoid unnecessary harm. It is hoped that the above information can assist you. Thank you.
