Hepatitis B virus (HBV) nucleotide sequences isolated from motherkhild pairs were analyzed in three cases of neonatal fulminant hepatitis B (FHB). Heterogeneous HBV sequences consistent with both adw2 and ayw subtype were found in all three mothers. In one case, in which the child survived, both sub

## Abstract The incidence of perinatal transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV) depends on the HBeAg/antiβHBe status of the mother. While children of HBeAgβpositive mothers have a 90% probability of acquiring a chronic hepatitis B virus carrier state, babies of antiβHBeβpositive mothers are more lik
Cellular immunity to HBcAg was studied in hepatitis B virus carrier children and neonates born to hepatitis B virus carrier mothers. A significant proliferative response of peripheral blood mononuclear cells to HBcAg was found in 5 of 10 children with elevated ALT levels but in none of the nine HBeA
