  • Title: [Hepatitis B infection of the newborn by its symptom-free mother].
    Author: Joosten R, Stürner KH.
    Journal: Med Klin; 1980 Mar 14; 75(6):223-4. PubMed ID: 7393117.
    Abstract:
    A routine screening of the serum of pregnant women for the HBs antigen in the Aachn area revealed a frequency of 1,73% symptom free carrier mothers. This proportion is three times higher as the frequency of the HBs antigen in the normal population. The risk of a vertical transmission in children born to HBs antigen positive mothers is discussed as well as extended immunological diagnosis and prophylactic use of hyperimmunglobulin.
