Patient's question:
I am a mother who carries the hepatitis B virus. My son received the vaccine at birth, so why is he still tested as a hepatitis B carrier now?Doctor's answer:
Hello, we are the 261 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army. The effective rate of mother-to-child transmission prevention is 95%, but it is still possible to transmit the virus. Currently, drug treatment can only suppress viral replication but cannot kill the virus. It generally requires lifelong medication, and it may also cause viral mutation and toxic side effects on other organs. Long-term medication also increases the financial burden on patients.The most advanced method used internationally now is somatic immunoreconstruction therapy. Somatic treatment is more effective than drug treatment. It uses the patient's own immune cells, has no toxic side effects, and does not cause viral mutation. It can effectively clear the hepatitis B virus. The 261 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army is the only unit approved by the General Logistics Department of the Central Military Commission to conduct somatic treatment for hepatitis B. It is also the Beijing Military Region Bio-diagnostic and Treatment Center. You can visit our hospital website to learn more about somatic treatment for hepatitis B, or you can consult our experts directly.
