✦ Synopsis

A pregnant woman developed an acute hepatitis C virus (HCV) type 3a infection during the second trimester of pregnancy. The clinical virological features are presented, including HCV RNA quantification of maternal serum samples collected during pregnancy. These findings are discussed in light of the child's remaining uninfected after 5 years of follow-up.

Mother-to-infant transmission of hepatitis C virus (HCV) was analyzed by sequencing of viral RNA and semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction following ultracentrifugation of maternal sera. In two mother-infant pairs, the hypervariable region 1 (HVR1) and carboxyl terminus of envelope 1 (E1) were
