Compliance among infants exposed to hepatitis B virus in a post-vaccination serological testing program in four provinces in China
Frequency of compliance with a PVST testing cascade for HBV infected mothers and factors associated with infant lost to follow up
Abstract
Mother to child transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV) remains the most common form of HBV infection in China. Prevention of HBV vertical transmission involves timely administration of the complete hepatitis B vaccine (HepB) series and hepatitis B immunoglobulin. Post-vaccination serological testing (PVST) is utilized to determine an infant바카라 사이트™s outcome after HBV exposure and completion of HepB series. The authors aim to determine the frequency of compliance with a PVST testing cascade for HBV infected mothers and analyze factors associated with infant lost to follow up (LTFU).
