Abstract

Hepatitis B viral infection poses a significant challenge during pregnancy, as the risk of vertical transmission carries serious consequences for both maternal and neonatal well-being. This comprehensive review delves into the intricacies surrounding hepatitis B infection during the perinatal period, shedding light on its impact on pregnancy outcomes and stressing the necessity of addressing it within the broader framework of perinatal care. By scrutinizing current evidence, diagnostic methodologies, management techniques, and preventive measures, this review emphasizes the urgent need for enhanced screening protocols, timely interventions, and augmented public health initiatives. Notably, key findings underscore the elevated likelihood of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in infants and its enduring implications for the health of both mothers and newborns. The imperative call to action advocates for a multifaceted approach, engaging healthcare professionals, policymakers, and public health agencies to optimize strategies for management and prevention, thereby striving for improved outcomes for pregnant women and their infants affected by hepatitis B viralinfection.
