How to fill out contact investigation-acute hepatitis b:

1. Gather relevant information: Start by collecting information about the index case, including their medical history, symptoms, and any potential sources of infection. This could include personal interviews, reviewing medical records, and conducting laboratory tests.
2. Identify close contacts: Determine the individuals who have been in close contact with the index case during the infectious period, typically defined as the two weeks before the onset of symptoms. Close contacts could include household members, sexual partners, and individuals who shared needles or other equipment.
3. Contact assessment: For each close contact identified, assess their risk of exposure to hepatitis B. This may involve evaluating the nature and duration of the contact, determining if there were any risky behaviors or activities, and considering the susceptibility of the contact (such as their vaccination status or prior infection history).
4. Testing and vaccination: Based on the risk assessment, decide whether testing and/or vaccination is necessary for each contact. Testing usually involves checking for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) to detect acute infection or hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) to determine immunity. Vaccination may be recommended for susceptible contacts to prevent infection.
5. Follow-up and counseling: Schedule appropriate follow-up visits for tested contacts to monitor their health and ensure timely management if infection is detected. Provide counseling on preventive measures, including safe sex practices, avoiding needle sharing, and the benefits of vaccination.
