I have been HBsAg positive. I had a blood test on December 12, and it was still positive. My wife is currently pregnant, but her blood test result is negative for HBsAg. Is there any danger to her or the baby? Please let me know.

Since your wife is HBsAg negative and presumably vaccinated, the risk is low. The baby will need the hepatitis B vaccine and immunoglobulin at birth. Inform your gynaecologist.

Hello doctor I am Ravi age 25. I have a big problem with weight gain and even after following a weight gain diet and gym my weight remains constant at 52 kg. A few days ago I was drinking alcohol regularly and after that I developed pain below the chest, weight loss, loss of appetite, malaise, shortness of breath, depression, and ringworm on legs and hands. The doctor checked my blood report and chest X ray but was unable to diagnose. Please help me?

My blood report shows normocytic normochromic cells with macrocytes and ovalocytes, and my liver enzymes are elevated (SGOT is 55.9 U/L, SGPT is 61.9 U/L). I do not consume alcohol or cold drinks. I want to know if it is safe to undergo surgery for dry ear perforation. Also, could these results indicate any underlying disease? Please advise.
