Patient's question:
Our department has a colleague who recently discovered that he has hepatitis after a thorough examination. He now has to take medicine every day. He has already been dismissed. We used to have meals together sometimes, and I wonder if I might have been infected by him. I notice that his complexion looks very bad now. Does hepatitis spread from person to person?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis will certainly be infected, and the specific routes of infection are as follows: Hepatitis B is mainly spread through blood or anesthetic routes. Any blood or body fluids (saliva, milk, amniotic fluid, semen, secretions, etc.) containing hepatitis B virus can directly enter the body or cause transmission through rusty skin or mucous membranes. If you get hepatitis, you must seek treatment immediately. It cannot be based on prevention, otherwise it will not only endanger yourself but also endanger others.
