Infection with GB virus C/hepatitis G virus among blood donors and hemophiliacs in Martinique, a Caribbean island.

abstract：:The incidence of perinatal transmission of hepatitis B virus (HBV) depends on the HBeAg/anti-HBe status of the mother. While children of HBeAg-positive mothers have a 90% probability of acquiring a chronic hepatitis B virus carrier state, babies of anti-HBe-positive mothers are more likely to develop fulminant hepatit...
