Background and aims: To evaluate the success rate of universal hepatitis B (HB) vaccination program in Taiwan and elucidate HBV infection and HBsAg carrier rates as well as their associated perinatal factors among children born to HBeAg-positive mothers.
Methods: Children born to 263 HBeAg-positive mothers who delivered in Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital from 2001 to 2010 were invited to inform HB vaccination history and to receive ultrasonography as well as blood sampling for HB seromarkers. Serum HBV DNA levels and quantity of HBsAg and HBeAg were checked for the subjects either with positive HBsAg or with only positive for anti-HBc. Including mothers and children, we further analyzed their HBV genotypes. Perinatal factors, including delivery mode, HB immunoglobulin (HBIG) injection time and healthy condition at birth, were collected from medical records. According to the results of HBsAg, anti- HBs and anti-HBc, subjects were grouped into five as HB naïve (-/-/-), HB vaccine responder (-/+/-), HBsAg carrier (+/-/+), recovery from HBV infection (-/+/+), and anti-HBc-postive alone (-/-/+). Then subjects in groups of HBV naïve and anti-HBc-positive alone with presenting anamnestic response to booster HB vaccine were individually merged to groups of vaccine responder and recovery from infection. Results: Among 196 children received postnatal HBIG and HB vaccination, we identified one HBV naïve (0.5%), 109 vaccine responders (55.6%), 21 carriers (10.7%), and 65 recovered from infection (33.2%). Among 21 carriers, 14 (66.7%), 4 (19%), and 3 (14.3%) presented in immune-tolerance, immune clearance and inactive carrier phase, respectively, while their mean age were 5.1±2.5, 7.0±2.9 and 9.3±3.8 years, respectively (p=0.068). Cesarean section is the only significant perinatal factor between carriers (5.3%) and those recovery from HBV infection (37.7%) (p=0.007). Concerning distribution of HBV genotype B between 115 mothers and 19 children, it showed no difference (75% v.s. 63.2%, p=0.267).
Conclusions: In Taiwan, we still discovered 43.9 % HBV infection rate and 10.7 % HBsAg carrier rate in high-risk children born to HBeAg-positive mothers despite of HBIG and HB vaccine administration. Cesarean section may protect newborns from becoming HBsAg carriers, while HBV genotypes and HBIG injection time gave no contributions to HBV carrier rate. |
