Abstract

Infectious hepatitis in pregnancy is clinically significant in both the acute and chronic phases. Here, we review the perinatal implications of chronic hepatitis B and C and acute hepatitis A and E. Familiarity with screening, transmission, diagnosis, and management of infectious hepatitis is of ongoing importance during obstetric care, as these diseases are endemic in much of the world. Pregnancy and interpregnancy care provide opportunities to prevent infection and transmission of hepatitis.
