Patient's question:
My wife is 27 weeks pregnant with hepatitis B surface antigen positive (HBsAg positive), and her liver function tests are normal. Everything else is also normal. Some people say that she needs to get certain injections between the 7th, 8th, and 9th months, while others say not to. It's very frustrating. What is the reason for a pregnant woman being HBsAg positive?Doctor's answer:
To prevent infection in the child, it is necessary to adopt the interruption therapy. You can implement anesthetized high-titer hepatitis B immune globulin in the 7th, 8th, and 9th months after conception, respectively. After the baby is born, anesthetized high-titer hepatitis B immune globulin should be administered within 24 hours and within half a month, respectively. At the same time, the child needs to be vaccinated with hepatitis B vaccine at 24 hours after birth, half a month, and the 6th month, respectively. Facing the harm of hepatitis B patients with positive, we should promptly implement the principle of symptomatic treatment and avoid avoiding medical consultation. If the is not cured after prolonged treatment, it is necessary to promptly adjust the treatment plan.
