Patient's question:
The other day, a colleague told me that Xiao Wang was diagnosed with hepatitis. I was very worried after hearing this, because just before his illness was discovered, I had dinner with Xiao Wang. Now, I'm very worried about getting infected by him. Currently, my body hasn't shown any adverse reactions, but I'm still very concerned. Can I get infected by dining with a hepatitis patient?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis is a liver inflammation caused by viruses, drugs, alcohol, abnormal metabolism, or autoimmune conditions, with viral hepatitis being the most common cause. People with hepatitis cannot get infected by eating dinner together. If they are good friends, there is absolutely no need to worry. If you are still concerned, you can get tested. In addition to immediate medical treatment, patients with hepatitis also need to maintain a proper diet in daily life to digest nutrients well.
