Material and Methods: All hepatitis B positive mothers are enrolled, the feto maternal outcome were studied and compared with those of hepatitis B negative mother. Observation: 170 cases came under our study out of 16570 deliveries, hence prevalence was 1.02%. maximum mothers were of 18 -30 age group, primipara and there is significant relation in term to preterm birth and low birth weight. Conclusion: Universal screening of hepatitis B in pregnancy is mandatory and complete antibody profile should be done in case of positive mothers; that will help in proper management and prevention of fetomaternal transmission.
