Is it normal to have a positive result for the 5 markers?

Patient's question:

Recently, my health hasn't been very good, and I haven't been feeling energetic either. I also can't eat greasy foods, and I always have severe abdominal pain. During my recent check-up, the report indicated that both items 4 and 5 in the hepatitis B surface antigen test were positive. I'm very worried, so could you please help me interpret the results?

Doctor's answer:

The baby is positive for HBsAg and anti-HBs, indicating a history of hepatitis B infection and currently in the convalescent phase of acute infection. This is a relatively positive sign, so there is no need to be overly concerned. Regarding your condition, it is classified as chronic hepatitis B with high viral load, which does have a certain level of transmissibility. It is important to keep your daily items separate to avoid infecting others. Prompt and proper treatment is necessary to ensure a faster recovery, as prolonged illness may lead to further deterioration.
In addition to treating hepatitis B, patients are advised to pay attention to their diet and maintain a positive mood in daily life to strengthen their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
