Prevent hepatitis B must do two things well, daily contact, will not be transmitted

In our country, although with the popularity of hepatitis B vaccine, acute hepatitis B virus infection has decreased significantly, there are still many misunderstandings in the public. "Hepatitis B", etc., these misunderstandings will not only affect the lives of patients with hepatitis B, but also not conducive to the prevention and treatment of hepatitis B. 2022年7月28日是第十二个“世界肝炎日”，陕西省人民医院消化内科专家金燕特别提醒：切断病毒传播途径及接种乙肝疫苗是预防乙肝病毒感染的最有效办法，日常学习、 Hepatitis B virus without blood exposure such as work or life contact will not infect the hepatitis B virus.

According to Jin Yan, hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is one of the most common infectious diseases in the world. More than 400 million people have chronic HBV infections. About one million people die from chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis or hepatitis B each year each year. Liver cell carcinoma. Chronic hepatitis B is one of the most popular and most harmful infectious diseases in China.

Hepatitis B is damage to liver inflammation caused by HBV. Most hepatitis B can be cured or healed after the treatment of the acute stage. A few cases of cases have been delayed or converted into chronic. Some of them can develop hepatitis, cirrhosis, and even liver cancer. For severe hepatitis; in addition, a considerable part of the infected persons have become asymptomatic virus carriers.

The clinical manifestations of hepatitis B mainly include loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, fatigue, yellow skin yellow, liver enlargement, and abnormal liver function. Most cases can be converted into chronic and further developed into liver cirrhosis, liver cancer, and complications of liver cirrhosis and liver cancer, such as clinical symptoms such as ascites, gastrointestinal bleeding, and hepatic encephalopathy.

Jin Yan mentioned that the transmission of hepatitis B is where people have misunderstood the most. Many people are worried about hugging, cough, sneezing, kissing, common tableware and other behaviors. In fact, the transmission path of hepatitis B is mainly blood transmission, maternal and child communication, and sexual contact dissemination. Cutting virus transmission paths can effectively prevent hepatitis B.

Blood communication mainly includes medical behaviors such as blood transfusion and blood products, syringes and acupuncture, dental and surgical equipment. In addition, tattoos, eyebrows, double eyelids, ear purse, foot repair, shaver scraper and other damaged behaviors can also spread hepatitis B, because these operations will be more or less exposed to the blood. Strict disinfection, the risk of infection will increase.

Maternal and infant transmission refers to a way to spread HBV to babies during pregnancy, childbirth, and lactation. The surface antigen -positive mothers are 40 % to 50 %. HBV may spread HBV to babies, and 90 % to 100 % of mothers with surface antigen and E antigen dual -positive may spread to babies. HBV can also be transmitted through semen and vaginal secretions. No protection of sexual contact is one of the ways of hepatitis B infection. Therefore, the spread of hepatitis B does not include handshake, hug, cough, sneezing, common tableware, etc. These daily contacts will not infect hepatitis B virus.

Jin Yan said that inoculation of hepatitis B vaccine is the most economical and effective way to prevent hepatitis B, and safety is also recognized by the medical community. In addition, prevention of hepatitis B virus infection is mainly to cut off the transmission pathway. The most important thing is to block the maternal and baby transmission of hepatitis B. In addition, we must strengthen the management of special industries such as food industry and caregivers. Strict monitoring of blood supply, blood and blood products. Strict medical device disinfection to prevent medical derivation. Individuals should understand the channels of hepatitis B and prevent knowledge, develop a health habits of civilized and healthy, and do not share with items such as toothbrushes, razors or medical equipment (such as blood glucose meters) to avoid contact with communication.

"Hepatitis B is not as terrible as people think, not to say that hepatitis B will get hepatitis B when contacting patients with hepatitis B. If we have already vaccinated and have hepatitis B surface antibodies, they have a certain resistance to hepatitis B virus. At the same time, pay attention to cutting off. The way to spread, then the chance of infection is even lower, don't worry too much. "Jin Yan said that if he was unfortunately infected with hepatitis B virus, don't be too pessimistic. As long as you insist on standardized treatment, follow up on time, take antiviral drugs on time, you can take it, you can just take it, you can take it, you can just take it, you can take it. Effectively prevent the further development of chronic hepatitis B.
