Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Pregnancy mothers with singleton neonates were enrolled during delivery in the Womens Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine from January 2012 to September 2013. Mothers diagnosed with CHB and positive for HBsAg before pregnancy were defined as CHB mothers and were eligible for the study group. Neonates whose CHB mothers had been treated with only LdT were the exposed group (LdT group), and comparable neonates whose CHB mothers did not receive any anti-viral therapy were the non-exposed group (non-LdT group). Among the 30 mothers in the LdT group, 21 took LdT orally (600 mg once daily) (Novartis, Inc, Basel, Switzerland) during their entire pregnancy, and the rest 9 began in the second or third trimester. Normal controls were singleton neonates born in the same hospital during the same time period, and they were matched with the study group in gestational age and birth weight. All infants were given the HBV vaccine and HBIG immediately after birth and at one and six months.
