How pregnant patients with Hepatitis B are treated

Asked by Female, 29 · 15 days ago

Blood testing and liver examinations are typically performed on pregnant women who have Hepatitis B. If the virus level is high in the latter months of pregnancy, some women may require antiviral medication to lower the risk of infecting the unborn child. Within the first 12 to 24 hours after birth, the newborn is often protected by the hepatitis B vaccine and a specific immunoglobulin injection. For both mother and child, routine follow-up visits to a liver specialist and gynaecologist are crucial.
