Abstract
Viral hepatitis during pregnancy is common globally. In this review, we focus on the antenatal screen for hepatitis A, B, C and E, the prevention of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of hepatitis B and C, and the management of hepatitis A, B, C and E during pregnancy. Neonatal timely administration of hepatitis B immunoglobulin and hepatitis B vaccine is the cornerstone for preventing MTCT of hepatitis B virus (HBV), and perinatal antiviral prophylaxis with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate in mothers with positive HBeAg or HBV DNA >2 × 105 IU/ml also plays important roles in further reducing MTCT. Avoidance of risk practices in managing labor and delivery process of women with HCV infection may be useful to reduce MTCT of HCV. Early recognition of severe hepatic injury or liver failure associated with hepatitis viruses by regular liver function tests is critical to prevent maternal mortality associated with hepatitis.
期刊介绍:
In practical paperback format, each 200 page topic-based issue of Best Practice & Research Clinical Obstetrics & Gynaecology will provide a comprehensive review of current clinical practice and thinking within the specialties of obstetrics and gynaecology.
All chapters take the form of practical, evidence-based reviews that seek to address key clinical issues of diagnosis, treatment and patient management.
Each issue follows a problem-orientated approach that focuses on the key questions to be addressed, clearly defining what is known and not known. Management will be described in practical terms so that it can be applied to the individual patient.
