The incidence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infections during the 2nd and 3rd yr of life was determined for 105 children whose mothers were carriers of hepatitis B surface antigen. Children were given hepatitis B immune globulin (HBIG) at birth and in some instances 3 and 6 mo. later to protect against HBV infection. Passive antibodies from the dose of HBIG disappeared in 3-4 mo. Infants negative for HBV markers at 12 mo. were selected and subsequent infections were analyzed in relation to the e system markers in the mother. Over an average of 17.5 mo. of follow-up, 38.1% of the infants became infected, an annual incidence rate of 26.0%. The rate was highest for children whose mothers were positive for hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) (57.1%), moderate for those whose mothers were negative for HBeAg and antibody to HBeAg (anti-HBe) (20.4%) and lowest for those whose mothers were positive for anti-HBe (11.3%).
