title: [Problems of perinatal transmission of hepatitis B].
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.
