Breakthrough HBV infection in vaccinated children in Taiwan: surveillance for HBV mutants.

Antiviral therapy - 1 Jan 2010

Chang Mei-Hwei

Abstract excerpt

The universal HBV vaccination programme in Taiwan has effectively led to the reduction of acute and chronic hepatitis B, and of hepatocellular carcinoma among vaccinated children. Seropositivity rates for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) decreased from 10-17% in those born before the start of the vaccination programme to the current 0.5-1.7%. Nonetheless, breakthrough infection continues to be observed. The...
