Perinatal transmission of H V

Most important risk factor that determines perinatal transmission is HBe Ag. HBs Ag carrier mothers who are HBe Ag positive almost invariably (> 90%) transmit hepatitis B infection to their offspring, where as carrier mothers with anti HBe rarely (10 to 15%) infect their offspring.
Most common time of perinatal transmission is at the time of delivery.
Most of the infected neonates are asymptomatic carrier with increased chances of chronic hepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma.
