[Family diffusion of HBs antigen].
Systematic investigation for HBs antigen and for HBs antibody in donors carrying HBs antigen evidenced a familial contamination more important in children and first cousins than in husband and wife which confirm various previous studies. Moreover, daughters and sisters of antigen carriers show an abnormaly high antigen frequency and especially an abnormally low antibody frequency.
