Patient's question:
Yesterday, I was rushing on the subway and got pricked by something, leaving a wound on my leg slightly thicker than a pinhole. Because I was upset and worried it might have been done intentionally or the object could be contaminated with an infectious virus, I went to get checked yesterday afternoon. However, the doctor said the time interval was too short to detect anything, so they didn't perform the check.Doctor's answer:
Currently, it is not yet possible to detect it. The detection of HBV relies on immunological methods. After the antigen enters the body, it takes time for the body to stimulate the production of antibodies. Before this, you can be anesthetized with high-immunoglobulin to implement passive immunization to prevent HBV transmission.Question: For patients, if the hepatitis condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment and appropriate medication should be administered. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of hepatitis. In addition, patients need to maintain a positive mood to avoid worsening the condition. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
