Toward zero mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B virus： From controversy to consensus
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical Hepatology - Year 2024, Vol 40, Issue 11
Abstract
Mother-to-child transmission is the major route of transmission for hepatitis B virus （HBV）， and prevention of the mother-to-child transmission of HBV is the key link in the prevention and control of hepatitis B and one of the five essential core strategies for achieving the global elimination of hepatitis B by 2030. Combined immunization for neonates born to HBV-infected mothers and maternal antiviral intervention during pregnancy are important measures for blocking mother-to-child transmission， and thereby， the implementation of the comprehensive strategy of combined immunization and maternal antiviral intervention will help to accelerate the process of eliminating mother-to-child transmission. Chinese scholars have put forward the concept of “zero mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B” and launched “Shield Program” in China， aiming to promote the implementation of the preventive strategy for mother-to-child transmission and lay a solid foundation for eliminating viral hepatitis in China. The Shield Program has provided detailed implementation strategies， successful practice experience， and reliable data for blocking the mother-to-child transmission of hepatitis B， fostering the consensus on the zero mother-to-child transmission of HBV in the academic community， and it also has an important reference value for eliminating the mother-to-child transmission of HBV in China and globally.
