Abstract
Material & Methods: Fifteen thousand pregnant women were evaluated using history, examination and tested for serum HbsAg using commercial enzyme immunoassay kits. For HbsAg positive women, detailed biochemical evaluation including liver function tests, ultra sonogram abdomen and complete hepatitis B profile including HbeAg, HbeAb, IgM Anti HbC and HBV DNA analysis was also done by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
