## Abstract The genotype distribution of hepatitis B virus (HBV) was investigated in 118 children in Japan. One hundred and sixteen children (98%) had chronic HBV infection, and the remainder had acute hepatitis. Genotyping of HBV was determined by PCR and sequencing analysis in the S gene. Genotyp

The significance of IgM and IgG class antibodies to hepatitis B virus (HBV) core component (anti-HBc) was investigated in a study of maternal-fetal HBV transmission. An IgM anti-HBc response was lacking in the majority (49/53) of HBV-infected infants. This antibody thus cannot be used as an indicato
Hepatitis B virus DNA (HBV DNA) in serum was measured by a Spot hybridization technique in a consecutive series of 79 cases with chronic HBV infection from Taiwan. HBV DNA was found in 96.3% (52/54) of HBeAg-positive, 66% (2/3) with neither ABeAg or anti-HBe and in 63.6% (14/ 22) of anti-HBe positiv
The development of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carrier states in newborns of HBsAg-positive mothers was correlated to the presence of anti-HBc IgM and HBeAg in the mothers. There was a positive correlation between infection of the newborn and the presence of HBeAg, as shown previously, but n
## Abstract Over 90% of infants infected with hepatitis B virus (HBV) caused by motherβtoβinfant transmission will evolve to carrier status, and this cannot be prevented until widespread administration of the HB vaccine and hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) is implemented. This prospective study o
