Immunization is the most effective way to prevent transmission of HBV and, hence, the development of acute or chronic hepatitis B. The national strategy to eliminate transmission of the virus in the United States includes vaccination of all newborn infants, children, adolescents, and high-risk adults.

Hepatitis B and C are worldwide infectious hepatitides which are distinct in terms of epidemiology and molecular biology, but which may be quite similar in terms of clinical manifestations and histopathology, in both the acute and chronic stages. Hepatitis B virus (HBV), the human prototype of the Hepadnaviridae family of viruses is not directly ...

The Lancet, 2003
More than 400 million people worldwide are chronically infected by the hepatitis B virus. The virus is responsible for more than 300000 cases of liver cancer every year and for similar numbers of gastrointestinal haemorrhage and ascites. Major breakthroughs have been achieved in diagnosis and treatment of this virus.

In the United States each year, 24,000 infants are born to women who are infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and an estimated 1000 newborns acquire the infection through vertical transmission from their mother. The approach to a pregnant patient with HBV infection includes assessing the need for therapy in the mother and evaluating possible ...
