Prevention of vertical hepatitis B transmission by hepatitis B immunoglobulin in the third trimester of pregnancy.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the possible efficacy of using hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) during the third trimester of pregnancy to prevent intrauterine transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV). METHODS: Of 469 pregnant women testing positive for hepatitis B surface antigens (HBsAg), 126 had hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) and 343 did not. RESULTS: There were women who declined to be treated with HBIG in these 2 groups. Among infants born to HBeAg-positive mothers, the rates of those testing positive for HBsAg at birth and at the 6-month visit were significantly lower when the mothers had been treated with HBIG (P<0.05). Among infants born to HBeAg-negative mothers, however, no significant differences were found whether the mothers had been treated or not. Furthermore, all newborns received HBIG treatment and the first dose of a vaccination schedule within 12 h of birth. At the 6-month visit the protective anti-HBs rates were only 32.3% among infants whose mothers were HBeAg-positive and 56.2% among those whose mothers were HBeAg-negative when their mothers had not been treated with HBIG during pregnancy, whereas the corresponding rates were as high as 75.8% and 88.7% when the mothers had been treated. CONCLUSION: Maternal administration of HBIG is effective in preventing intrauterine fetal HBV infection in HBsAg-positive, HBeAg-positive pregnant women and in improving immune response to hepatitis B vaccine in infants born to HBV carriers.     

免疫阻断乙型肝炎病毒母婴传播多中心研究

目的 探讨孕产妇乙型肝炎表面抗原（HBsAg）阳性率及乙型肝炎病毒（HBV）母婴传播阻断的效果。方法 2008－2012年,通过多中心队列研究,对湖北省、山西省、广东省、新疆维吾尔自治区等地的孕产妇进行HBsAg筛查;对上述地区部分医院入院分娩的HBsAg阳性母亲及8～12个月龄婴儿进行随访观察,所有标本检测乙型肝炎血清标志物(HBsAg,HBsAb,HBeAg,HBeAb,HBcAb),部分标本检测HBV DNA。结果　筛查孕妇82214例,HBsAg阳性4924例,阳性率6.0%。随访HBsAg阳性母亲及8～12个月龄婴儿1371对,婴儿免疫阻断失败率3.1%（42/1371）,HBsAg及HBeAg双阳性母亲婴儿的免疫阻断失败率为8.2%。免疫阻断失败的婴儿其母亲均为HBeAg阳性且HBV DNA≥6 log10 copies/mL。HBeAg阳性母亲孕期注射乙型肝炎免疫球蛋白(hepatitis B immune globulin, HBIG)及未注射HBIG组,其婴儿免疫阻断失败率差异无统计学意义(8.8% vs. 8.1%, P=0.807)。结论　多中心调查显示目前孕产妇HBsAg阳性率6.0%,HBV母婴阻断失败率3.1%。HBsAg及HBeAg双阳性且HBV DNA≥6 log10 copies/mL 的孕妇应为母婴阻断的重点人群。孕妇孕期注射HBIG不能提高HBV母婴阻断效果。     

新生儿乙型肝炎病毒血清标志物检测及其转归

目的探讨乙型肝炎病毒携带产妇所生新生儿血清乙型肝炎病毒标志物(HBV-M)转归。方法2001年3月至2006年3月在暨南大学附属第一医院进行产前检查的500例HBsAg阳性产妇所生新生儿,根据母亲HBeAg状态分为HBeAg阳性组144例,HBeAg阴性组356例。两组新生儿在出生12 h内均注射乙型肝炎免疫球蛋白100 IU,并按常规0、1、6方案分别在出生时、1月龄和6月龄注射基因重组乙型肝炎疫苗5 μg,注射主被动免疫前分别抽取外周静脉血检测HBV-M。结果两组新生儿出生时外周血HBsAg、HBeAg均阳性者分别为24例和9例,追踪至6月龄时HBsAg阳性例数分别为10例和5例,HBsAg阴转率差异无统计学意义。两组新生儿出生时HBsAg阳性、HBeAg阴性者分别为4例和21例,追踪至6月龄时,HBsAg阴转率分别为100%和85.7%。出生时HBsAg阴性、HBeAg阳性者,HBeAg阳性组为29例,占20.1%,显著高于HBeAg阴性组比例(P<0.01),其6月龄HBsAg阳转率为6.9%,明显低于HBeAg阴性组(P<0.01)。在接受全程主被动免疫的情况下,HBeAg阳性组新生儿6月龄HBsAg和HBsAb阳性率分别为9.7%和67.4%,HBeAg阴性组分别为3.1%和78.1%,两组比较差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论新生儿出生时外周血HBsAg阳性不能作为判断宫内感染的指标,HBeAg阳性新生儿预后与母亲HBeAg状态密切相关,母亲HBeAg阳性会抑制新生儿对乙型肝炎疫苗的反应。     

Breast feeding and immunoprophylaxis efficacy of mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus

Abstract

Objective: This study was designed to explore if hepatitis B virus (HBV) may be transmitted via breast milk through mother-to-child transmission (MTCT), and assay the immunoprophylaxis efficacy after passive–active immunization.

Method: From year 2008 to 2012, 67?720 pregnant women were screened and 1186 HBsAg-carrier mothers and their infants aged 8–12 months were followed in multi-centers of China, among whom HBV markers (HBsAg, HBsAb, HBeAg, HBeAb and HBcAb) and HBV-DNA were measured.

Results: HBsAg positive rate of pregnant women was 6.7% (4533/67?720) and infants’ immunoprophylaxis failure rate was 3.3% (39/1186). Immunoprophylaxis failure infants were all born to mothers of HBeAg positive and HBV-DNA >6 log₁₀ copies/ml. Among infants of HBeAg positive mothers, HBV infection rate was 9.0% and HBsAg positive rate was 8.3% in breast-feeding group versus 9.2% in formula-feeding group, P?=?0.761. Occurrence of perinatal HBV infection was indicated in uterus or during delivery. Different feeding patterns had no effects on HBsAb conversion of infants with the implementation of immunization.

Conclusions: HBsAg prevelance rate of pregnant women enrolled was 6.7% and immunoprophylaxis failure rate of infants was 3.3%, while the infection rate reached 9.0% in infants of HBeAg positive mothers. Breast feeding did not increase the occurrence of HBV MTCT.     

常规免疫预防阻断乙型肝炎病毒母婴感染的效果

目的 评价免疫预防措施在实际应用中阻断乙型肝炎病毒(hepatitis B virus,HBV)母婴感染的效果,阐明孕妇孕晚期使用乙肝免疫球蛋白(hepatitis B immunoglobulin,HBIG)能否减少HBV母婴感染.方法 将2002年7月至2004年8月江苏省14个县市的419例乙型肝炎表面抗原(hepatitis B surface antigen,HBsAg)阳性孕妇所分娩子女作为研究组,同地区同期的453例 HBsAg-孕妇分娩的子女作为对照组,于2009年10月至2010年3月期间对2组研究对象进行随访,调查母亲孕期HBIG使用情况以及子女出生后HBIG和乙型肝炎疫苗接种情况,检测儿童HBV血清标志物.率的比较采用χ2分析或者Fisher精确概率法,均数的比较采用t检验.结果研究组实际随访298例(71.12%),其中11例(3.69%) HBsAg+;而随访的328例(72.41%)对照组中,HBsAg阳性率为0.00 (χ2=12.32,P<0.01).共11例儿童HBsAg+,其母亲均为HBsAg和HBeAg同时阳性,除1例具体情况不详外,9例儿童在出生时明确没有使用HBIG或延迟接种疫苗,仅1例同时规范使用了HBIG和乙型肝炎疫苗.2组儿童抗-HBs阳性率分别为69.46%和69.21% (χ2=0.01,P=0.95).孕晚期注射HBIG的92例孕妇中,2例(2.17%)儿童HBsAg+;未使用HBIG的197例孕妇中,9例(4.57%)儿童HBsAg+ (χ2=0.98,P=0.51).结论 江苏省常规免疫预防措施在阻断母婴HBV感染方面取得了良好的效果,但对HBV携带孕妇(特别是HBeAg+者)的新生儿仍需强调及时注射HBIG.孕妇孕晚期使用HBIG不能减少母婴HBV感染.

Abstract：

Objective To assess the protective effect of vaccination in routine application on hepatitis B virus (HBV) exposed infants and to clarify whether hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) administration of pregnant women may reduce the risk of maternal-fetal transmission of HBV. Methods Serum samples of 6398 pregnant women at gestation of 15-20 weeks from 6 urban and 8 rural areas across Jiangsu province were previously tested for serologic markers of HBV by ELISA from July 2002 to August 2004. In this study, infants born to 419 HBV carrier mothers were taken as the study group, while infants born to 453 non-carrier mothers were taken as the control group by stratified random sampling. They were followed-up and screened for HBV markers during October 2009 to March 2010. Information including HBIG administration during pregnancy, HBV vaccination and HBIG administration of the infants were collected. χ2 test or Fisher′s exact method were used to compare the rates and the comparison of the means was by t test. Results The follow-up rates of the study group and control group were 71.12% (298/419) and 72.41% (328/453), respectively. Of the 298 infants born to HBV carrier mothers, 11 (3.7%) were positive for HBsAg, while none of the 328 infants born to non-carrier mothers was HBsAg positive (χ2=12.32, P<0.01). All of the 11 children were born to mothers with both HBsAg and HBeAg positive, and nine of the 11 children were not injected HBIG or not immunized with hepatitis B vaccine within 24 hours after birth, with only one received regular vaccination and detailed information was unknown in one case. The positive rates of anti-HBs in the study group and the control group were 69.46% and 69.21% respectively (χ2=0.01, P=0.95). HBsAg positive rate of the children born to pregnant women treated with HBIG during late pregnancy (n=92) was 2.17% (n=2), whereas that in the children born to women not treated with HBIG (n=197) was 4.57% (χ2=0.98, P=0.51). Conclusions The protective effect of immunoprophylaxis in routine application against perinatal HBV infection in Jiangsu province is good. Efforts are required to emphasize the importance of HBIG administration in infants born to HBV carrier mothers, especially in HBeAg positive mothers within 24 hours after delivery. Treatment of HBsAg positive pregnant women with HBIG in third trimester would not decrease the risk of maternal-fetal transmission of HBV.

Risk of hepatitis B transmission in breast-fed infants of chronic hepatitis B carriers

OBJECTIVE: To measure the rate of hepatitis B (HBV) transmission from chronic HBV carriers to breast-fed infants after immunoprophylaxis. METHODS: Since 1992, information on women with HBV during pregnancy has been collected in a prospective longitudinal study. Those HBV carriers and their infants participating in a county HBV immunoprophylaxis program were identified. Infants were followed for up to 15 months and examined for hepatitis B infection by hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). RESULTS: A total of 369 infants born to women with chronic HBV met the inclusion criteria and received hepatitis B immune globulin at birth and the full course of the hepatitis B vaccine series. We compared 101 breast-fed infants with 268 formula-fed infants. There was no significant difference between the two groups with respect to the number of women who were positive for hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) (22% versus 26%, P =.51). Three women in the breast-feeding group had liver transaminase abnormalities, compared with six women in the formula-feeding group (P =.29). Overall, there were nine cases of HBV infection transmission (2.4%). None of the 101 breast-fed infants and nine formula-fed infants (3%) were positive for HBsAg after the initial vaccination series (P =.063). The mean length of time for breast-feeding was 4.9 months (range 2 weeks to 1 year). CONCLUSION: With appropriate immunoprophylaxis, including hepatitis B immune globulin and hepatitis B vaccine, breast-feeding of infants of chronic HBV carriers poses no additional risk for the transmission of the hepatitis B virus.     

Assessing perinatal hepatitis B screening and neonatal prophylaxis in a large, multiethnic county

OBJECTIVE: To assess the completeness of maternal screening and appropriateness of newborn prophylaxis for hepatitis B virus (HBV) in 2001 in Florida's largest county. STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study sampled 1% of deliveries at all hospitals in Miami-Dade County that had delivery suites. Abstractors reviewed mothers' and newborns' charts before discharge to determine whether newborns received appropriate HBV prophylaxis based on mothers' hepatitis B virus surface antigen (HBsAg) status at 12 hours postpartum. At each hospital, deliveries were sampled sequentially until the target number was reached. Sampling was donefor March-August 2001. RESULTS: Among 339 deliveries at 14 hospitals, the mother's HBsAg status was known within 12 hours of delivery for 286, or 84.4% (95% CI 80.1-88.1%). Of the 53 infants whose mothers' HBsAg status was unknown, 15 (28.3%) were vaccinated within 12 hours of delivery; both infants whose mothers were HBsAg positive received vaccine and immune globulin within 12 hours delivery. CONCLUSION: While HBsAg screening of pregnant women is widespread in Miami-Dade County, the information is not consistent used to protect infants who mothers' HBsAg status unknown.

Hepatitis B vaccine in pregnancy: immunogenicity, safety and transfer of antibodies to infants

To determine the safety and immunogenicity of hepatitis B vaccine in pregnancy, 72 pregnant Nigerians who were negative for markers of hepatitis B virus (HBV) were given two intramuscular doses of vaccine (Heptavax, Merck) in the third trimester. One month after the second dose (at T2), 84% were anti HBs positive. No significant effect was observed in the mothers or their newborns. Passive transfer of anti HBs occurred in 59% of the newborns. The antibodies disappeared rapidly in these infants and by 3 months only 23% had detectable antibodies. No HBsAg carrier status developed in this group. In contrast, the infants born to HbsAg positive mothers had a cummulative rate of HBV events of 20%. It is concluded that HBV vaccine is safe and immunogenic in pregnant females. The passive immunity conferred on the infants is of short duration. Therefore, infants in endemic areas should be vaccinated early, preferably within 3 months of birth. Vaccination of pregnant mothers may provide adequate protection before the child is vaccinated.     

553例产妇血清、乳汁、唾液中乙型肝炎病毒-DNA载量的检测及相关性研究

目的:探讨乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)携带产妇血清中HBV标志物感染模式(HBV-M)、HBV-DNA载量与乳汁、唾液中HBV-DNA阳性率的关系,为安全进行母乳喂养和母婴亲密接触提供循证医学依据。方法:选取467例HBV携带产妇(实验组,又分为大三阳组、小三阳组和单纯阳性组)和同期86例乙型肝炎五项指标全阴的产妇(对照组),用ELISA和实时荧光定量多聚酶链反应(PCR)方法,检测产妇血清HBV-M及血清、乳汁、唾液中HBV-DNA载量,分析乳汁、唾液中HBsAg阳性率、HBV-DNA阳性率与血清HBV-M的关系,以及乳汁、唾液HBV-DNA阳性率与血清HBV-DNA载量的相关性。结果:实验组中血清大三阳组,乳汁和唾液中HBsAg阳性率和HBV-DNA阳性率均明显高于小三阳组、单纯阳性组及对照组,两两比较差异均有高度统计学意义(P<0.01);实验组唾液HBsAg总阳性率与HBV-DNA总阳性率均高于乳汁(P<0.01);乳汁和唾液HBV-DNA阳性率与血清HBV-DNA载量呈正相关(r=0.976,P<0.01;r=0.999,P<0.01)。结论:血清大三阳产妇传染性较强;HBV携带产妇的唾液较乳汁更具有传染性;随着血清HBV-DNA载量的增加,乳汁、唾液中HBV-DNA阳性率增加,传染性增强。

目的　探讨乙型肝炎病毒 (HBV)侵犯新生儿外周血单个核细胞 (PBMC) ,对新生儿免疫接种的影响 ,并从白细胞介素 2 (IL 2 )水平变化分析其可能的机理。方法　对 5 2例乙型肝炎表面抗原 (HBsAg)阳性孕妇分娩的新生儿行乙型肝炎免疫球蛋白和乙型肝炎疫苗 (HBVac)联合免疫接种 ,7个月时进行随访。用巢式聚合酶链反应 (nested PCR)技术检测新生儿血清和PBMC中HBVDNA ,固相放射免疫法检测血清乙型肝炎表面抗体 (HBsAb) ,采用体外细胞培养和双抗体夹心酶联免疫法检测PBMC在植物血凝素 (PHA)和HBsAg刺激下 ,培养上清液中IL 2的含量。结果　HBV侵犯PBMC后 ,新生儿免疫接种的失败率为 73 3% ,显著高于PBMC未受侵犯新生儿的 5 4 % ,差异有显著性 (P<0 0 5 ) ;免疫接种失败新生儿的PBMC培养上清液中 ,IL 2含量为 (85± 37)ng/L(PHA刺激 )、(5 1±18)ng/L(HBsAg刺激 ) ,明显低于免疫接种成功者和正常对照 ,差异均有显著性 (P值均 <0 0 5 )。结论　宫内感染HBV并侵犯PBMC ,是新生儿免疫接种失败的重要原因 ;HBV侵犯PBMC可使其IL 2分泌能力下降 ,可能是导致新生儿免疫接种失败的原因之一     

乙型肝炎疫苗和乙肝免疫球蛋白阻断乙肝病毒母婴传播的效果

目的:调查实际应用中免疫预防阻断乙型肝炎病毒(HBV)母婴传播的效果,观察孕期注射乙肝免疫球蛋白(HBIG)能否减少HBV母婴感染。方法:对2006年1月至2010年12月在镇江市妇幼保健院分娩的224例乙肝表面抗原(HBsAg)阳性母亲以及250例儿童,结合住院病历,进行回顾性调查,记录母亲孕期HBIG使用情况、子女出生后HBIG和乙型肝炎疫苗接种资料,并采血检测HBV血清标志物及谷丙转氨酶(ALT)。其中69例儿童出生后免疫预防前采外周血检测HBV血清标志物。结果:250例HBsAg阳性孕妇的子女随访时年龄(3.3±1.6)岁,出生时检测HBV标志物的69例中,4例HB-sAg阳性,其中2例随访时HBsAg仍阳性,乙型肝炎e抗原(HBeAg)也阳性,说明慢性感染,另外2例HBsAg转阴;1例出生时HBsAg阴性,但随访时转为阳性。另1例出生时未检测,随访时HBsAg阳性。因此共4例(1.6%)慢性感染HBV,其母亲均为HBeAg阳性。4例感染儿童中,2例出生时未注射HBIG,且未正规接种疫苗。随访的224例母亲中,215例明确孕期使用HBIG的情况;76例子女的母亲孕期注射了HBIG,1例(1.3%)HBsAg阳性,142例子女的139例母亲孕期未使用HBIG,3例(2.1%)HBsAg阳性(P>0.05)。结论:HBsAg阳性孕妇的子女经正规免疫预防后,HBV母婴阻断效果良好,部分预防失败是由于未实施正规预防。新生儿出生时HBV血清标志物不能作为诊断是否感染HBV的指标。孕晚期使用HBIG对阻断母婴感染无效。     

Hepatitis B and C in pregnancy

In general, pregnancy does not influence the course of hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) infection. Most neonates born to mothers who suffer from acute viral hepatitis B and C are asymptomatic. Chronic hepatitis B and C infections can be transmitted to neonates. This route of transmission of HBV is a major contributing factor to the high carrier rate in endemic countries where 80–95% of infants born to HBsAg/HBeAg-positive (hepatitis B surface antigen and hepatitis B e antigen respectively) mothers are infected. Despite the availability of a immunoprophylactic vaccine, 10–15% of these infants are still infected. The possible reasons for vaccine failure include the ability of HBV antigens to induce immunotolerance and the existence of HBV variants. The factors contributing to vertical transmission of HBV and HCV are also discussed. These factors include viral load, virus variants and sensitivity of diagnostic tests. The rate of vertical transmission of HCV of less than 5% is lower compared to HBV in HCV-ribonucleic-acid-positive mothers. However, the risk of HCV transmission is increased to about 23% if the pregnant women are also human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive.
