THE IMMUNIZATION OF BABIES BORN OF HBsAg POSITİVE PREGNANT WOMEN

Abstract

Pregnant women infected with hepatitis B virüs (HBV) pose a risk for infecting their newbom infants by vertical transmission. Especially infants of mothers positive for HBsAg and HBeAg are at risk for peripartal transmission of hepatitis B infection. In this study, HBsAg investigation was carried out by using EIA method in order to determine the HBsAg carrier pregnant vvomen. We studied 540 women aged 18-40 years for determining the HBVstatus and their sera were tested for HBsAg, antiHBc lgG and antiHBs. Ali nevvborns who were born of HBsAg carrier mothers were given active (HBV vaccine) and passive immunization (hepatitis B hyperimmunoglobuline) postpartum vvithin 6 hours and vaccination schedule was continued as 0-1-2-12 months of life. The monitoring of those babies and the otber pregnants has stili been going on since four years and the infants are stili kept protective anti HBs level. These results suggest that ali pregnants should be tested for HBsAg during pregnancy and HBV carrier mothers nevvborns should be immediately immunized for preventing HBV.
