Patient's question:
I am 38 years old. Recently, I feel that my liver is very tired. I haven't had a good appetite, and at night, I always feel a sharp pain in my stomach. I went to the nearby hospital for a check-up and was told it was liver disease. They asked me to get an injection. I would like to ask, can a nanny with hepatitis B carry an infant?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the main routes of hepatitis B transmission are blood transmission, mother-to-child transmission, and sexual transmission. If your nanny has hepatitis B, it is generally absolutely unlikely to transmit it to the child. We suggest you don't need to worry. Moreover, most children are now vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine after birth, but it is still recommended to have your child tested to see if they have antibodies. If there are no antibodies, it is necessary to focus on getting the hepatitis B vaccine.
