It is known that hepatitis B is transmitted from mother to child during pregnancy. In India, the prevalence of HBV is 4% and the most common form of HIV transmission from mother to child during pregnancy and early childhood.
HBV infection is likely to occur during pregnancy in a healthy person and infect the fetus as well, or could have existed long before the expectant mother.
One study showed that HBV northern India has no predilection for pregnant women. Of pregnant women and nonpregnant women participating in this study, 19% of pregnant women are infected, and 18% of pregnant women who are not infected as well. In addition, the disease affects pregnant women in different ways than it affects non-pregnant women.
Some of the symptoms that come along with a prodromal phase of hepatitis may be wrong with your pregnancy: nausea, vomiting. Also fatigue, headache, muscle pain, and less low levels might be wrong with the flu. 2 to 10 days of jaundice appear prodrome and patients may accuse pains in the right side of the body, just below the rib cage. Physicians may feel hepatomegaly (which means the liver has swollen), and sometimes splenomegaly. Within about 6 weeks, these symptoms disappear, and if not treated within 6 months, chronic hepatitis can be installed.
Sometimes the installation of the disease can cause premature labor (31.6% in patients who are infected), and postpartum hemorrhage.
The doctors in the diagnosis of acute hepatitis B using markers such as HBsAg and anti-HBc IgM.
Treatment of hepatitis B in pregnant women is similar to that used for non-pregnant women bed rest foods, vitamins and calories. The vaccine is not recommended in pregnant women.
Chronic hepatitis does not materialize in the early stages, but only when it affects the majority of the liver. Chronic hepatitis is the most commonly diagnosed when the patient feels ill and asks the doctor for some tests, or when a pregnant woman and obstetricians recommend regular blood tests. If high levels of serum transaminases, this means that chronic hepatitis is present. Sometimes the doctor can palpate the spleen and liver, but in the last month of pregnancy that can not be done. In addition, palmar erythema suggestive of hepatitis, but this sign is in the pregnancy too.
Pregnant women with chronic hepatitis usually have a normal pregnancy, and complications arise when cirrhosis develops. Causes of cirrhosis, portal hypertension and bleeding esophageal varices, which can lead to maternal death.
Treatment of chronic hepatitis B performed the same way by treating non-pregnant women. Interferon alpha is not used because it can cause birth defects. Lamivudine is considered safe for pregnant women and fetuses and is administered daily oral doses of 100 mg.
