I had tested positive for hep b core antibody. should i be worried if pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May be: Please consult your obstetrician and discuss getting tested for hep b surface antigen. If positive, it would be prudent to provide immunization to the newborn to prevent infection in the child. Neonatally acquired infections tend to become chronic.
