Core Tip	Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of the hepatitis B virus (HBV) is still a problem in HBV endemic countries. This review explores newest information and approaches available in literature to overcome MTCT and its challenges, including screening of pregnant women, prenatal intervention, infant’s immunoprophylaxis, and post-vaccination serological testing.
