Seventy-five women with anti-hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody were enrolled prospectively during pregnancy or at delivery for study of motherto-child transmission of HCV. Twenty-three women were coinfected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Seventy babies were monitored for at least 6 mont
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
