Patient's question:
My classmate got hepatitis B, and we always lived together. It is said that hepatitis B is contagious, although he was isolated, I was still upset about getting infected. How is hepatitis B transmitted? How does hepatitis B spread?Doctor's answer:
The immune system of infants and young children is in a developmental process, and at this stage, their ability to completely eliminate viruses is poor. Therefore, they are prone to chronicization during autoimmune reactions. In contrast, the immune system of adults is fully developed, making it easier to implement autoimmune reactions and completely clear viruses in a short period.When the body is in a hypersensitivity reaction, with the production of a large number of antigen-antibody complexes and activation of the complement system, as well as the presence of a large number of inflammatory factors, it can lead to widespread liver cell necrosis, resulting in severe hepatitis.
Additionally, during the treatment of hepatitis B patients, the patient's dietary condition and care are also crucial. Patients must pay close attention to rest and engage in appropriate activities to avoid unnecessary injuries.
