Mother-to-infant transmission of hepatitis B virus: challenges and perspectives.

Hepatology international - 1 Nov 2017

Shih Yi-Fen, Liu Chun-Jen

Abstract excerpt

Chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection due to perinatal mother-to-infant transmission (MTIT) remains a serious global health problem. Despite passive-active immunoprophylaxis using hepatitis B vaccination with or without hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIg), up to 8-10% of newborns still acquire HBV infection. Understanding the mechanisms of MTIT is essential for the interruption of HBV transmission. There are...
