HepBsAg cover by herbal remedies?
My patient is tested HepBsAg positive (reactive by EIA and PCR).
He took some herbal remedies for 3 months. When i repeat HBsAg again, it's negative!
I proceed to have him vaccinate against HepB.
After completion of 3 jabs (0,1,5 regime), his HBsAb measured >120!
Now my questions are -
1 - what is his Hep B status?
2 - is he considered contagious (as to transmission of HepB virus)?
3 - what will be the result of HBsAg if he stop taking it?
4 - can anyone figure out how does this herbal remedies work? Suppressing the virus?
5 - what occur to the virus (in terms of virology)?
The contents of the herbal tabs - Nigella Sativa and honey.
Answers:
