Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) is the most common route of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection. After given standard immunoprophylaxis, MTCT still occurred in some infants born to a HBsAg positive mothers with high HBV DNA load. The main purpose of this study is evaluating the efficacy of methods used in blocking MTCT of HBV in infants born to a HBsAg positive mothers with high serum HBV DNA loads.

This study contain 600 patients and compose groups as follow: (ⅰ) infants born to a HBsAg positive mothers with high HBV DNA load before delivery receive standard immunoprophylaxis( injection of HBIG 200IU at birth plus HBV vaccine at 0,1 and 6month); (ⅱ) infants born to a HBsAg positive mother with high HBV DNA load before delivery, and based on standard immunoprophylaxis receive addition injection of HBIG 200IU at 1 month after birth; (ⅲ) infants born to a HBsAg positive and high HBV DNA load mothers but treated with antiviral therapy in late pregnancy, receive standard immunoprophylaxis; (ⅳ) infants born to a HBsAg positive mothers treated with antiviral therapy during entire pregnancy for hepatitis receive standard immunoprophylaxis; (ⅴ) infants born to a HBsAg positive mother with serum HBV DNA negative receive standard immunoprophylaxis.

Inclusion Criteria:

• infants born to HBsAg positive mother HBsAg positive mother

Exclusion Criteria:

• mothers coinfected HIV or HCV

this study would enroll 600 HBsAg positive mothers, including 240 cases with high serum HBV DNA load during pregnancy, 120 cases treated with antiviral therapy for hepatitis B, 120 cases with HBV DNA negative during pregnancy, 120 cases with high serum HBV DNA but receive antiviral therapy in late of pregnancy, and all of their infants.
