Abstract
Objective
To explore hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection rate of breast feeding to newborn babies of HBV carrying parturient women with hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) double positive.
Methods
A prospective cohort study was conducted to include HBsAg and HBeAg double-positive HBV carrying parturient women and their babies born from February 2016 to May 2018 at the Women′s Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, and 323 parturient women and 323 babies were enrolled. The babies were divided into breast feeding group and artificial feeding group. Chemiluminescence immunoassay and polymerase chain reaction-fluorescent probe method were used to detect the positive rates of serum HBV markers and HBV DNA levels in the newborns <24 h and seven-month-old age, respectively. The statistical method was performed using χ2 test.
Results
A total of 297 parturient women were finally included for the analysis, including 149 in the breast feeding group and 148 in the artificial feeding group. There were no significant differences in the positive rates of HBsAg, hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs), HBeAg and HBV DNA>100 IU/mL between the two groups at birth 0.05). The positive rate of anti-HBs in newborns in the breast feeding group at birth 100 IU/mL in newborns in the breast feeding group were 2.01%(3/149) and 2.68%(4/149) at birth 0.05). In the artificial feeding group, the positive rate of anti-HBs in newborns was 47.97%(71/148) at birth 100 IU/mL in newborns in the artificial feeding group at birth 0.05).
Conclusions
Breast feeding is not a decisive factor for the risk of vertical transmission in HBsAg and HBeAg double-positive HBV carriers. It is recommended that such women could breastfeed under formal precautions.

期刊介绍:
The Chinese Journal of Infectious Diseases was founded in February 1983. It is an academic journal on infectious diseases supervised by the China Association for Science and Technology, sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association, and hosted by the Shanghai Medical Association. The journal targets infectious disease physicians as its main readers, taking into account physicians of other interdisciplinary disciplines, and timely reports on leading scientific research results and clinical diagnosis and treatment experience in the field of infectious diseases, as well as basic theoretical research that has a guiding role in the clinical practice of infectious diseases and is closely integrated with the actual clinical practice of infectious diseases. Columns include reviews (including editor-in-chief reviews), expert lectures, consensus and guidelines (including interpretations), monographs, short monographs, academic debates, epidemic news, international dynamics, case reports, reviews, lectures, meeting minutes, etc.
