My mother found Austral. antigen. She does not live with us, comes to visit for 4 - 5 days. Whether it can infect us? Towel, cup, saucer, spoon it separate. Austral. antigen and hepatitis B is the same?

Respond Tatyana Stepanova, a gastroenterologist, hepatologist Astraliysky antigen - a marker of viral hepatitis B. All contacts with the support of Australian antigen to vaccinate. A vaccine against hepatitis B virus is very good, it completely protects against infection for a period of 10 years or more. Likely to be infected by contact is very small, but it exists.
