Can getting the hepatitis B vaccine lead to a 245 positive result?

Patient's question:

Got the hepatitis B vaccine in 2003, and in 2006, it was carefully checked that there were antibodies. If the vaccine at that time was a fire-fighting hepatitis B vaccine, could it cause the hepatitis B test to show a 245 positive result?

Doctor's answer:

Vaccination will never cause a 245 positive result. Regarding a 245 positive result in the hepatitis B five-item test: 1. You may have once been infected with the hepatitis B virus, possibly due to a history of hepatitis B, or it could be a latent infection; 2. The recovery period of acute HBV infection; 3. It is extremely unlikely, but you may still be infectious. Have you had liver function tests? Have you experienced any other discomfort symptoms in your daily life? If it's convenient, you can communicate with me directly online, which will make the exchange of information easier and better address your confusion. In fact, having hepatitis B is not, and patients should believe that they can overcome the disease. As long as treatment is timely during the early stages, the chances of controlling the condition and recovering are very high.
