[Characteristics of the formation of the HBsAg carrier state among pregnant women and newborn infants and their role in the spread of hepatitis B].
The authors analyze the incidence rate of HBsAg carriership among 8, 120 pregnant women and 261 newborn infants at different periods after birth. The levels of HBsAg carriership among pregnant women and the members of their families, as well as among the personnel of maternity clinics and blood donors, have been established. The rate and time of the detection of HBsAg in infants born to mothers found to be HBsAg carriers have been determined. Measures for the prophylaxis of hepatitis B are discussed with due regard to the specific epidemiological features of the spread of HBsAg carriership, established in this study, and to the presence of antibodies to HBsAg among the above-mentioned groups of the population.
