I became ill with hepatitis A during pregnancy and breastfeed 7 days, after just learned. I want to know if I could infect the baby? Him in the hospital has not been inoculated against hepatitis B.

Respond Tatyana Stepanova, a gastroenterologist, hepatologist Hepatitis A is transmitted by fecal - oral route, ie, a "disease of dirty hands." The virus is excreted in the feces of a patient. You could infect the child. Similar question: if I am a carrier of hepatitis C, can I infect the baby during pregnancy?
