Abstract
The mother-to-child transmission(MTCT) of hepatitis B virus (HBV) is the dominant cause of chronic HBV infection. In order to achieve the goal of "zero" MTCT before pregnancy, during pregnancy, and after pregnancy; standardized management for hepatitis HBV infection in women of childbearing age should be regulated. The content of this consensus includes: screening and treatment of HBV in pregnant women and women of childbearing age, treatment of hepatitis B during pregnancy, preventive measures and evaluation of combined immunization of hepatitis B immunoglobulin and hepatitis B vaccine in newborns, anti-viral therapy for all pregnant women with a high HBV DNA level and post-partum period related management. In addition, 16 recommendations were formed for clinicians to standardize the clinical management of HBV infection in women of child-bearing age.
