Patient's question:
Stabbed by a needle contaminated with hepatitis B blood, no antibodies, and the patient has a high viral load, with less than 24 hours passing. Recently received rabies vaccine anesthesia, currently no hepatitis B immune globulin available. Will it definitely transmit hepatitis B?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Based on the situation you described, it is inferred that for a "needlestick injury caused by a syringe loaded with hepatitis B-infected blood" and without hepatitis B virus antibodies, the probability of contracting hepatitis B is very high. For measures at this time, it is recommended to administer interferon or transfer factor to lower the body's immunity to counteract the hepatitis B virus, which can largely prevent the possibility of contracting hepatitis B.The daily treatment for hepatitis B patients primarily involves medication. Patients can take various oral medications in combination with many vitamins and pay attention to regular routines, avoiding alcohol. We hope that hepatitis B patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
