DOU Xiao-guang
Abstract：The main route of transmission of Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is vertical transmission (mother-to-child transmission,MTCT).Once newborn babies get infection with HBV,more than 90％ will develop to chronic infection.More than 95％ MTCT can be blocked via treatment with antiviral agents and immunoprophylaxis with HBIG and vaccine.HBV infection screening and treatment in women at child-bearing age and pregnancy can block the MTCT of HBV and at the same time ensure the safety of mothers and children.
