Patient's question:
A few days ago, my colleague went for a health check-up. Yesterday morning, they received the health check report. However, it indicated that she has hepatitis B, specifically the small triangle positive (HBeAg negative) type. I've heard about the big triangle positive (HBeAg positive) type of hepatitis B before, so I wanted to ask, is the big triangle positive type more serious than the small triangle positive type?Doctor's answer:
There is no superiority or inferiority between the big three positive and small three positive of hepatitis B, nor is there a difference in severity. Even their symptoms are indistinguishable. We can only rely on medical means to speculate whether it is big three positive or small three positive. Hepatitis B is the most common infectious disease, and whether it is big three positive or small three positive, it may not have symptoms. It depends on how hepatitis B affects the liver. The difference between big three positive and small three positive is reflected in the indicators shown when checking the hepatitis B two pairs of half in the hospital. For example, in the test results indicators of big three positive, it will show that the hepatitis B two pairs of half 135 is positive. In the test results indicators of small three positive, it will show that the hepatitis B two pairs of half 145 is positive. The most obvious difference is between 3 and 4. 3 positive is positive for hepatitis B e antigen. 4 positive is positive for hepatitis B antibody.
