Patient's question:
Due to a family member with hepatitis B, the child had the two pairs of tests done. Seeking the most authoritative interpretation of the report. Various answers online, very confusing.Doctor's answer:
The results of the hepatitis B five-item test indicate that the surface antibody and e antibody are positive. In this case, it is first necessary to rule out the interference of possible reagents. It is recommended to perform a chemiluminescence quantitative test for the five items of hepatitis B to clarify the specific situation. If e antibody or core antibody is also positive, it may indicate exposure to the hepatitis B virus, and you may have already recovered. If necessary, a quantitative test for hepatitis B virus can be performed to rule out possible occult infection. For severe hepatitis B patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible and follow the doctor's advice for early treatment. Do not change medications arbitrarily, as this may have the opposite effect on the treatment outcome. The above opinions are for reference only. It is hoped that the above answer can assist you. Thank you.
