RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore the safety testing evaluation index of breast-feeding by hepatitis B-positive mothers.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>HBV DNA from serum and breast milk of 252 hepatitis B-positive mothers were detected with the real-time quantitative PCR.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The total positive rate of HBV DNA in serum had no difference with that in breast milk in hepatitis B-positive mothers (P > 0.05). The positive rate of HBV DNA in serum and breast milk of positive HBeAg were significantly higher than that of hepatitis B-positive mothers with negative HBeAg (P < 0.01).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>To detecte HBeAg and HBV DNA in serum and breast milk have important significance for guiding of breast feeding of hepatitis B-positive mothers.</p>
