Maternofetal transmission of hepatitis B virus genotype E in Ghana, west Africa.

The Journal of general virology - 1 Oct 2007

Candotti Daniel, Danso Kwabena, Allain Jean-Pierre

Abstract excerpt

To determine whether maternofetal transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a common route of infection leading to chronic infection in west Africa, plasma samples, obtained at delivery from 1368 pregnant Ghanaian women and paired umbilical cord blood or newborn whole blood samples, were tested for HBV surface antigen (HBsAg) and DNA. A 16 % prevalence of HBV chronic carriers, defined as detectable HBsAg and/or...
