Abstract:
This review of recent publications and of the results of our own research brings our insights into the perinatal transmission of hepatitis B up to date. It includes facts concerning epidemiology, means of transmission, serological detection and problems of infection specific to newborns. The detailed discussion of the issue of prevention is intended to serve the basic objective of counteracting the further spread of the hepatitis B virus by a systematic screening of all pregnants followed by immunoprophylaxis for the newborns.
