Management Algorithm for Interrupting Mother to Child Transmission of Hepatitis B Virus

In areas where hepatitis B virus (HBV) is endemic, mother to child transmission (MTCT) is the major route of infection of children. Blocking MTCT of HBV would therefore reduce its prevalence. The China Foundation of Hepatitis Prevention and Control organized a team of specialists in infectious diseases, hepatology, immunology, obstetrics, and public health to develop an algorithm for interrupting MTCT of HBV, based on the most recent hepatitis B guidelines and latest evidence. This algorithm comprises 10 steps and has been adopted in clinical practice in China.
