Most of the burden of HBV-related disease results from infections acquired in infancy through perinatal or early childhood exposure to HBV in Asia-Pacific. Hepatitis B during pregnancy presents unique management issues for both the mother and fetus. These APASL guidelines provide a comprehensive review and recommendations based on available evidence in the literature, for the management of females with HBV infection through every stage of pregnancy and postpartum. These also address the concerns, management challenges, and required follow-up of children born to hepatitis B-positive mothers. ## Keywords - Medicine - Pregnancy - Hepatology - Hepatitis B virus - Public health - Hepatitis B - Disease - Liver disease - Pediatrics - Immunology - Obstetrics - Virus - Internal medicine - Pathology - Biology - Genetics --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
