Will I be infected if I am bitten by a mosquito in the liver disease ward?

Patient's question:

No symptoms, just afraid of getting infected. I also visited that ward twice and stayed there for several hours each time. Very worried.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Although hepatitis and other diseases are primarily transmitted through blood, mosquito bites generally do not cause infection. When mosquitoes bite, they only suck blood and will never release the blood they previously consumed. Additionally, the amount of blood they suck is very small, usually not enough to cause blood loss. Furthermore, during the treatment of liver disease, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very crucial. Patients must digest vitamins, prevent stomach problems, and maintain a light diet to avoid unnecessary harm.
