PurposeThis study aimed to examine the prevalence rate of Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection in infants aged more than 9 months born to HbsAg-positive mothers as well as the distribution of the cases in Magelang Regency for the years 2014-2016.Method The study used a survey approach with total sampling. The sample of this research consisted of infants aged more than 9 months born to HBsAG-positive mothers diagnosed from laboratory examination (Rapid Diagnostic Test) based on the report from the Health Office of Magelang Regency for the years 2014-2016. The method of analysis used was descriptive. The HBsAg of the sample was examined using HBsAg Rapid Test Cassette and confirmed using Enzyme-Linked Fluorescence Assay (ELFA) methods at a laboratory.Results The prevalence rate of Hepatitis B virus infection in infants born to HBsAG-positive mothers in Magelang Regency was 0 percent (0/61). The history of the administration of HB0 vaccine <12 hours to respondents reached 100 percent and the history of the administration of HBIg <12 hours was 68.85 percent. The history of respondents’ caesarean delivery was 37.7 percent. The history of therapy of respondents was by giving curcuma and Java ginger (temulawak). The price of HBIg is relatively expensive Rp. 1,000,000 – Rp. 4,999,999.ConclusionThis study concludes that there was no vertical transmission with 100 percent history of the administration of HB0 vaccine.

Abstract Background: Hepatitis B virus infection is a major public health problem worldwide which is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of hepatitis B virus infection and associated factors among pregnant mothers in Gedio Zone, southern Ethiopia.Methods: Institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted in governmental and private health facilities in Gedeo zone from January to April 2019. The study participants were selected using stratified random sampling techniques. Eugene strip test was used to determine hepatitis B virus infection among pregnant mothers. The status of HIV was collected from the records. Other variables were collected from the mothers using interviewer administered questionnaires. Logistic regression was used for the analysis. Adjusted Odds Ratios and their 95% Confidence Interval were calculated to determine association between HBsAg Sero-positivity and various factors. A p-value less than 0.05 were considered as significant. The data was analyzed using the SPSS version 25 statistical software. Results: Prevalence of hepatitis B virus among pregnant mothers was 9.2% in Gedio Zone. Previous birth at health institution [AOR=4.4, 95% CI: 1.7, 11.2], blood transfusions [AOR=4.4, 95% CI: 1.8, 10.5], previous history of Hospital admission [AOR=3.3, 95% CI: 1.5, 7.5], ear piercing practice [AOR=5.7, 95% CI: 1.1, 29.0], current Gestational age [AOR=3.6, 95% CI: 1.2, 11.2], and HIV status of the mother [AOR=6.1, 95% CI: 1.3, 30.0] had statistical significant association with HBsAg Sero-positivity.Conclusions: Hepatitis B virus infection was found to have higher endemicity (9.2%) in the Gedio Zone. History of blood transfusion, hospital admissions, ear piercing, being HIV positive, gestational age and institutional delivery were significant predictors for HBsAg sero-positivity. Early initiation of antenatal care service that integrate awareness creation about the risks of hepatitis B infection and mother to child transmission of the disease must be implemented by the health facilities in Gedio Zone.
