ABSTRACT
POSTPARTUM/BREAST-FEEDING Breast-feeding is not contraindicated, as long as the mother is HBeAg and HIV, and the neonate receives HBIg and HB vaccine as above (1,9).
RARE/RELATED Hepatitis D virus: incomplete RNA virus, which can superinfect 20% to 25% of chronic HBV-infected patients. HDV infection worsens chronic HBV infection, so that 25% may die from disease. If HBV is prevented, HDV infection is prevented too. HDV has no effect on pregnancy or fetus/ neonate.
