Important role of study on intrauterine transmission of HBV in prevention and control of hepatitis B / 中华流行病学杂志

ABSTRACT

The new research of intrauterine transmission of HBV includes intrauterine dominant infection and occult infection. Intrauterine dominant infection of HBV is the traditional intrauterine infection. Although intrauterine infection of HBV has been studied for decades, the intervention effects on HBV infection are very limited. As a result, mother to child transmission has become the main route of the transmission of HBV. With the development of science and technology, people’s understand of intrauterine occult infection of HBV has been deepened, and the definition of intrauterine transmission of HBV has been further completed and expanded. The study of intrauterine occult infection of HBV will play an important role in prevention and control of hepatitis B in China through filling in a gap in the field of prevention and control of vertical transmission of HBV, exploring new research perspective and providing guideline for related decision-making.
