Is mother-to-infant transmission the most important factor for persistent HBV infection?

Emerging microbes & infections - 1 May 2015

Li Zixiong, Hou Xiaomei, Cao Guangwen

Abstract excerpt

Of the infants born to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive mothers globally, 42.1% who did not receive hepatitis B virus (HBV) passive-active immunoprophylaxis and 2.9% of infants who received the immunoprophylaxis acquired HBV infection perinatally. Moreover, perinatal infection occurred in 84.2% (18.8%-100%) and 8.7% (0.0-21.0%) of infants born to hepatitis B e-antigen (HBeAg)-positive mothers who did...
