Abstract
|
|
|
There are two distinct hepatitis viruses, now commonly referred to as hepatitis A and hepatitis B viruses that are capable of inducing hepatitis after ingestion or parenteral administration of infected material, and each causes hepatitis after a relatively well-defined period of incubation:
A "non A, non-B" variety of hepatitis, referred to by some as hepatitis C. has been identified as the most common cause of hepatitis in recipients of multiple transfusions of blood products.
Infants born to mothers with viral hepatitis are at risk of acquiring the virus in utero, or more likely during or subsequent to birth, especially when surface and e antigen titers are high. Once the fetus or newborn infant is infected, there is a strong tendency for the infant to remain a chronic carrier.
Prompt prophylaxis in the newborn infant with immune globulin containing antibody appropriate for the virus may be effective. We reviewed hepatitis with pregnancy and present a vertical transmission of hepatitis from mother to newborn infant.
