Hello doctor! If a person infected with hepatitis B has a tooth pulled and his or her blood splashes on someone else's eyes and nose, will he or she get hepatitis B? Thank you doctor!

Hello! Hepatitis B can be transmitted through contact with the blood and secretions of an infected patient. You should wash your eyes and nose right away when you accidentally come into contact with blood and secretions of a hepatitis B patient and go to a health facility to inject hepatitis B immune globulin and hepatitis B vaccine right away.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards.
