From 2007 to 2014, 328 infants born to hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive mothers, who received passive-active immunization against hepatitis B at birth were tested for HBsAg, antibody to hepatitis B core antigen (anti-HBc) and antibody to hepatitis B surface antigen (anti-HBs) at 12–15months of age. Thirteen (4%) cases were HBsAg positive. Forty-four infants who were anti-HBs, anti-HBc positive (group 1) and twenty-one infants who were anti-HBc positive alone (group 2) were identified. Both groups were followed-up annually for testing anti-HBs and anti-HBc to verify if anti-HBc was of maternal origin. In group 1, anti-HBc disappeared in 41 cases at month 24, and it disappeared from the remaining 3 cases at month 36. In group 2, anti-HBc disappeared in 18 cases at month 24 and in the remaining 3 cases at month 36. The results show that maternal anti-HBc may persist up to 3years in some children.
