How to Handle a Two-Year-Old Child with Hepatitis B?

Question

How should a two-year-old child be treated if diagnosed with hepatitis B, with normal liver function and carrying 200 million viruses?

Answer

There is no cure for hepatitis B at present. As long as the liver function test is normal, there is no need for treatment. Patients with normal liver function are in an immune-tolerant state, with most liver damage being mild, and the benefits of treatment are extremely limited. Both economically and in terms of treatment, it is not ideal. Therefore, treatment should be adopted according to different stages and timing, and regular liver function and liver-spleen ultrasound checks are sufficient.
