Hepatitis B and Pregnancy: Virologic and Immunologic Characteristics

2 Jan 2020

Abstract excerpt

The hepatitis B virus (HBV) is an important human pathogen. Unvaccinated infants infected through mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) are at >95% risk of developing serum hepatitis B surface antigen-positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Despite complete passive-active HBV immunoprophylaxis, approximately 10% of infants born to mothers who are highly viremic develop CHB, and thus maternal treatment with...
