Sixty

one samples of colostrum from mothers with positive serum Hepatitis B

virus (HBV) test were collected and determined for serial HBV markers

along with HBV DNA. Results showed that HBsAg, HBeAg and anti-HBc were

most likely transferred by milk, while anti-HBs and anti-HBe had less

possibility to enter the colostrum (P < 0.01). The overall HBV DNA

positive rate was 42.6% in the 61 samples. The various HBV markers

detected in mothers' serum presented a high consistency with those

discovered in the corresponding milk samples. There were significantly

higher rate of milk HBV transmission from mothers with serum positive

HBsAg, HBeAg and anti-HBc or either one of them than those with

positive for anti-HBs and/or anti-HBe.PMID: 7712869 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]
