Question
If the mother is HBeAg positive, will the infant be infected? Do we need to go to the hospital for treatment? How long is the treatment usually?
Answer
If the mother is HBeAg positive, as long as the infant receives timely vaccination and hepatitis B immune globulin after birth, the risk of infection will be greatly reduced. The success rate of preventing transmission through preventive measures for HBeAg-positive mothers is as high as 90%. It is recommended to avoid breastfeeding to prevent transmission through breast milk. Please consult your doctor for detailed information and maintain good rest.
