Is there any scope that on injecting paracetamol iv the virus of hepatitis B got detected. is it possible .
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, Hepatitis B is a viral disease transmitted by parental route and sexual transmission. It can be transmitted by needle pricks, blood transfusion and the Iv Chat Doctor. Injecting Paracetamol will not detect the hepatitis B infection. It is detected by band of lab Investigations like1.HBsAg2. Anti HBs3. Liver EnzymesThese test should be done before the confirmation of hepatitis infection in the body. Thank you.
