| Core Tip |
Perinatal transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is still a threat in Egypt despite a successful immunization program for infants. In this work we tried to assess the risk factors for maternal acquisition of HBV and study a model for prevention of perinatal transmission of HBV. To achieve our aim we screened 2000 pregnant women for hepatitis B virus surface antigen. Risk factors for HBV acquisition were mostly related to medical care. We encountered a high dropout rate of women who could not be reached to offer their newborns immunoprophylaxis. For those who received immunoprophylaxis after birth, a success rate of 92.6% was achieved. An awareness campaign has to precede implementation of a national program for prevention of perinatal transmission of HBV. |
