[Transmission of hepatitis B].
Hepatitis B is transmitted by three main routes: contact with blood and body fluids, sexual contacts, and perinatally from the infected mother to her newborn baby. Horizontal transmission within the household of an infected person is common, especially in families with infants. In such situations, unnoticed contacts with blood probably account for most of the transmissions.
