What is "small three positive" in hepatitis B?

In general, "hepatitis B" refers to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. "Minor three positives" in hepatitis B means that among the five standard tests for hepatitis B, the hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis B e antibody (HBeAb), and hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) are all positive. Patients are advised to seek medical attention promptly and receive standardized treatment under a doctor's guidance. Specific analysis is as follows:

The "minor three positives" result usually indicates that the patient has been infected with the hepatitis B virus, but the severity must be evaluated based on individual circumstances. If the patient’s hepatitis B virus test turns negative, the infectivity is generally low, and specific treatment may not be required. In such cases, patients should avoid alcohol consumption and undergo regular follow-up examinations. However, if the hepatitis B virus remains positive, it suggests a mutation in the HBV C gene region, with ongoing viral replication. This condition is typically infectious and can lead to abnormal liver function, elevated transaminase levels, and persistent liver damage. In such cases, patients are advised to take medications as prescribed by their doctor, such as entecavir tablets, Anluohuaxian pills, or Compound Biejia Ruangan tablets.

During treatment, patients should ensure adequate rest, maintain sufficient sleep, avoid staying up late, pay attention to nutritional intake, and refrain from smoking, alcohol, and spicy foods, all of which contribute to recovery.
