title: [The importance of early and maternal antibodies to HBsAg in preventing hepatitis B in plasma recipients].
abstract: Among 182 prematurely born babies receiving transfusions of HBsAg-negative plasma (blood), 49 (26.9%) were found to have antibodies to HBsAg (anti-HBs) in the 1st week of life, of them 29 had maternal and 20 early antibodies. Early anti-HBs and maternal antibodies detectable in blood sera of premature newborns were found to be protective, capable of preventing both icteric forms of acute posttransfusion hepatitis B and anicteric variants of this infection after plasma transfusion.
