Patient's question:
Our unit is currently undergoing health checks, and some colleagues have been found to have hepatitis B. Besides carriers of the hepatitis B virus, I'm not sure what the difference is between the two. It's said that carriers of the hepatitis B virus are fine and are no different from normal people, and they don't need treatment. I'd like to understand this as well. Is that correct?Doctor's answer:
A colleague was found to have hepatitis B. Besides the hepatitis B virus carrier, I'm not sure what the difference is between the two. It seems that it's said hepatitis B virus carriers are fine, just like normal people, and don't need treatment. I also want to understand this. Is that correct? The difference is that a hepatitis B virus carrier has normal liver function. Hepatitis B virus carriers usually have no outward symptoms, don't interfere with daily life, but can transmit the virus to others. This is the difference between a hepatitis B virus carrier and a normal person. A normal person doesn't have the hepatitis B virus and hasn't been infected. Hepatitis B virus carriers cannot drink beer, just pay attention to rest.
