Patient's question:
My wife was diagnosed with jaundice hepatitis after getting married and has been taking medication to control it. When her condition improved slightly, we decided to get pregnant. Fortunately, she gave birth successfully in one try. She is now 5 months pregnant, and an ultrasound revealed it's a boy. We are both very happy. Can jaundice hepatitis be contagious?Doctor's answer:
Jaundice hepatitis is somewhat contagious, so it is important to note that pregnant women should receive high-efficiency hepatitis B immunoglobulin after the 789th month of pregnancy. After birth, the child should receive the first dose of high-efficiency hepatitis B immunoglobulin and a 30-microgram hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours. Subsequently, the 23rd month should also receive high-efficiency hepatitis B immunoglobulin, and the 26th month should receive a 30-microgram hepatitis B vaccine. Generally, this approach can maximize the likelihood of preventing hepatitis infection in children.There are several treatment methods for hepatitis, but since the condition of each patient is different, the diagnostic methods used may also vary. Therefore, patients need to undergo timely and thorough examination and diagnosis to receive appropriate treatment.
