Management of Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection in Women of Reproductive Age HCV Management in Women During Pregnancy clinicaloptions. com/hepatitis § Worldwide, the seroprevalance of HCV in pregnant women is thought to be anywhere from 0. 15% to 2. 4% in the United States and European countries and much higher in countries like Egypt where it is estimated to be as high as 8. 6%. § The prevalence of HCV infection in children ranges from 0. 05% to 0. 36% in studies carried out in the United States and Europe [9– 11] and is much higher in developing countries where it can range from 1. 8% to 5%.
Management of Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection in Women of Reproductive Age clinicaloptions. com/hepatitis § The intensity of HCV infection varies during pregnancy as demonstrated by the varying level of viral loads an HCV specific T-cell responses that correspond with the progression of pregnancy. Some studies have shown that there is a decrease in serum alanine transferase levels (ALT) in the 2 nd and 3 nd trimesters of pregnancy, along with a corresponding increase in HCV RNA during these trimesters. It is hypothesized that this may be seen because of a relative suppression of immunity as pregnancy proceeds.
Management of Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection in Women of Reproductive Age clinicaloptions. com/hepatitis § Estrogen has shown to suppress intrathymic T-cell differentiation while activating the extrathymic pathways a phenomenon that has also been noted during pregnancy. § The modulation of cytokines as a result of this is important in maintaining tolerance of the paternal antigens in the foetus. This may also increase the proliferation of HCV resulting in higher HCV RNA titres in the 2 nd and 3 rd trimesters.
Management of Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection in Women of Reproductive Age clinicaloptions. com/hepatitis § Conversely, HCV RNA titres tend to decrease in the postpartum period. Rates of clearance compared to the nonpregnant control group. In addition, the HCV core protein levels at 3 months postpartum were much lower among patients who cleared their viremia versus those who had persistent HCV elevation.
Management of Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection in Women of Reproductive Age clinicaloptions. com/hepatitis § Risks of obstetrical complications in HCV infected pregnant women are varied. § Low in birth weight, small for gestational age, be admitted to the intensive care nursery or require assisted ventilation of some sort. § The risk of cholestasis increased in pregnant women who are also HCV antibody positive, and this tends to occur earlier in the gestation compared to HCV-negative mothers.
Management of Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection in Women of Reproductive Age MODIFIERS OF AND RISK FACTORS FOR HCV VERTICAL TRANSMISSION clinicaloptions. com/hepatitis § Both intrauterine and intrapartum transmission are possible. § It is estimated that up to one-third of the infected children acquire the infection in utero, as evidenced by the positive PCR testing within the first 3 days of life, and up to onehalf as late intrauterine or intrapartum and are PCR positive after 3 days of life.
Management of Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection in Women of Reproductive Age clinicaloptions. com/hepatitis § Several factors have been studied as potential modifiers of the frequency of HCV vertical transmission. Multiple obstetric, immunological and virologic factors may influence perinatal transmission of HCV. These include maternal HCV RNA levels (at viral titres beyond 105 to 106 copies/m. L), HIV coinfection, HCV genotype, neutralizing antibodies , cytokine modulation, amniocentesis, foetal blood monitoring , prolonged membrane rupture and type of delivery.
Management of Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection in Women of Reproductive Age clinicaloptions. com/hepatitis § Maternal HCV and HIV co-infection has consistently been shown to be associated with higher transmission rates. § The incidence of HCV vertical transmission is approximately 3– 5% in HCV RNA-positive-monoinfected mothers, but can be as high as 19% in HIV co-infected mothers. Even when controlling for HIV, presence of HCV viremia increases the odds of vertical transmission by 2. 82 -fold.
Management of Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection in Women of Reproductive Age clinicaloptions. com/hepatitis § Rupture of membranes for more than 6 h has been significantly associated with viral transmission. § Use of scalp electrodes may lead to HCV exposure. § Increase in HCV infection in infants following amniocentesis. § Benefits of doing elective C-section in mothers with HCV viremia are controversial.
Management of Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection in Women of Reproductive Age clinicaloptions. com/hepatitis § HCV infection of the peripheral blood monocytes have a higher rate of transmission to their infants. § Elevated ALT is also associated with certain HCV genotypes that are more likely to be transmitted like 1 a or 1 b. § Increase in the natural killer (NK) cells in the placenta of HCV-positive mothers may be an explanation for the relatively low rates of vertical transmission; though, the increased cytotoxicity of the NK cells may also lead to a higher risk of preterm delivery in HCV-positive mothers.

Management of Chronic Hepatitis B Virus Infection in Women of Reproductive Age clinicaloptions. com/hepatitis § HCV infection during pregnancy and the post-partum period appears to be a highly unique period in the interaction between virus and host. These periods of intense physiological change appear to force some adaptation of the virus that may offer a therapeutic window when more suitable agents come into use. Further studies of how and when the virus is transmitted from mother to child will only enhance the ability for prevention and treatment in the future.
