Methods Forty-eight pregnant women with HBsAg positive were divided into two groups:group A(68 cases)were injected with HBIG during pregnancy;group B(28 cases)were followed up without injecfion of HBIG as controls. The blood samples of mothers and their infants were tested with radioimmunoassay and PCR. Results of 70 infants in group A,64(91.46%)were positive for anti-HBs(P<0.05).The infants with HbsAg positive and HBV DNA positive in group A were fewer than those in group B(P=0.02 and <0.05).
