Complete hepatitis B virus genome analysis in HBsAg positive mothers and their infants with fulminant hepatitis B.

BMC gastroenterology - 8 Jun 2004

Friedt Michael, Gerner Patrick, Wintermeyer Philip, Wirth Stefan

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: After perinatal transmission of hepatitis B virus, infants of anti-HBe positive HBsAg carrier mothers may develop fulminant hepatitis B. Previously it has been suggested, that fulminant hepatitis B in adults was associated with specific mutations in the HBV-genome. The aim of this study was to investigate, whether specific viral variants are associated with fulminant hepatitis B in young infants....
