Acute hepatitis B in infants born to HBsAg asymptomatic carrier mothers / G.A. MORONI, C. CHICCOLI, A.R. ZANETTI, M. ANGELI, M. GIUNTA. - In: ACTA PAEDIATRICA SCANDINAVICA. - ISSN 0001-656X. - 71:1(1982), pp. 115-120.
Abstract:
Within an eight-month period, five cases of acute hepatitis B were observed in children born to asymptomatic HBsAg carrier mothers. At delivery, four mothers were HBeAg-positive and one was anti-HBe-positive. At an average age of 17 ± 3 weeks the infants showed high transaminases levels and appearance of markers of HBV infection. Three children became HBsAg chronic carriers, one had a brief HBsAg-antigenemia (1 week), while the last one showed clinical and biochemical signs of hepatitis B in absence of detectable HBsAg but with anti-HBc and anti-HBe (window phase) and later became anti-HBs-positive.
