hi.
thanks for posting query at HCM.

Baby has been given the required treatment.
baby may have got the first vaccine shot at birth.
baby may have been advised to have 2 more vaccine shots.

in case of your wife, HBsAg can not be completely eradicated in a patient suffering from HepB.

visit a hepatologist.
however, complications maybe prevented if proper medication is taken and proper diet plan is followed.
Treatment is advised IF high values of liver enzymes AND high viral LOad on a PCR.

if HBV DNA count in PCR are not high, Liver enzymes should be monitored regularly while HepB markers maybe checked every 6 to 12 months.

hope to answer your concern.
wish you good n sound health.

regards
Dr Tayyab Malik
