Vertical Transmission of Hepatitis B Virus from Mothers Negative for HBV Surface Antigen and Positive for Antibody to HBV Core Antigen
The Journal of Infectious Diseases, 09/15/09
Walz A et al. – This study shows that HBV can be transmitted perinatally even in the absence of HBsAg. None of the children developed chronic HBV infection. Further studies must determine whether routine immunization of infants at the age of 3 months gives enough protection against HBV infection or whether screening of pregnant women for HBV should be extended, with immunization of their newborns beginning immediately after birth.
