My wife and I look forward to a child term of 26 weeks. Spouse actively observed by doctors, takes a lot of tests. in blood was detected HBsAg, infectious diseases specialist said that it was "Australia antigen" well, its very existence does not say that my wife is sick with hepatitis B. however, today's wife delivered the analysis for hepatitis b, and it was positive (she learned by phone, for the analysis has not yet descended. it is in a panic). I certainly understand that this is yet to be verified, ie themselves to go for tests can doctors make a mistake but not in the heart of the matter. but the question is: How could so happened that at the time of analysis, under the supervision of doctors, after several ultrasound, after the passage of infectious disease, gastroenterologists, when all indicators of the liver were normal. HOW CAN NOW analysis for hepatitis B to give a positive result?? Discharged from hospital only a week ago. And suddenly, ONCE AND HEPATITIS B, as well as nuts-makarek. were under observation. health was good. the only problem that doctors nemogli understand is that being the wife too much "galloping" level of bilirubin from 14 to 20 or 28. during the period of toxemia in first 4 months of the bilirubin level was in general 35. That's actually the doctors at the hospital and sent to be tested hepatitis B because they could not understand the reason for these changes and elevated levels of bilirubin ostensibly to eliminate the possibility of hepatitis. Well, that passed the review. now wife in a panic. Now how dangerous is Hepatitis B wife on her period (26 weeks) and what to do next?

Respond Stanislav Y. Karpov, hepatology, gastroenterology, hepatology and gastroenterology clinic Medal Often virus activity Hepatitis B is changing. He may not reproduce (in this case revealed only HBsAg, but the virus is not detected in the blood). It may spontaneously disappear from the body (this is rare), and may again become active, and then it can be detected in blood, but As a rule, in a small number ve. If the virus (HBV-DNA by PCR) is determined in the blood, even in a small number ve, your wife can transmit the virus to the child, if determined only HBsAg, no. Treatment is shown only with active hepatitis B virus, that is: Number of 10x5 copies / ml or more. A similar question: "... now we have 4 times a day to measure blood glucose meter.
