摘要
As far as concerns chronic hepatitis C virus infection in pregnant women, different points remain to be elucidated, such as the clinical course, the rate of mother-to-child hepatitis C virus transmission and, in particular: its route and the possible risk factors. This review aimed to analyse current data on the prevalence of chronic hepatitis C virus infection in pregnant women and its relationship with risk factors, the rate of mother-to-child hepatitis C virus transmission and the factors possibly involved, particularly the maternal hepatitis C virus viral load and the human immunodeficiency virus coinfection, and the type of delivery and feeding. Finally, the appropriate timing for HCV-RNA testing in newborns has been reviewed.
