Hello,
With the question “Is it okay if the mother has an HBsAg count of 33920.00 UI/ml at birth? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Your quantitative HBsAg result is 33920.00 UI/ml which is very high. However, for the best assessment of viral infection, a quantitative HBsAg reading will not be as accurate as a viral load counting HBV test. To find out what your HBV status is, you need to do some more tests. Doctors recommend that you see a specialist for more advice.
Your baby is currently 3 months and 8 days old, if at birth he received antisera and hepatitis B vaccine and the 6-in-1 vaccine in the expanded immunization program, your baby's chances of being protected high protection, will not be likely to be infected. You can give your child a quantitative HBsAb test to see how his antibody status is.
If you still have questions about the mother whose HBsAg count is 33920.00 UI/ml at birth, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
