Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I've been having high fever that won't go down. The hospital said it's a viral infection. What kind of infectious disease did I get? How can I prevent pediatric delta hepatitis?Doctor's answer:
Hepatitis D never occurs alone; it is usually accompanied by hepatitis B. Hepatitis B is primarily spread through blood transmission, sexual contact, and mother-to-child transmission. You can check how to have hepatitis B antibodies. If you don't have hepatitis B antibodies, it's essential to get the hepatitis B vaccine promptly. Prevention of hepatitis D involves avoiding blood products and maintaining good dietary hygiene. If a child has hepatitis B accompanied by hepatitis D, it's crucial to actively follow up to prevent liver failure.
