- Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to study hepatitis B virus infection in pregnant women. Method: This was a one-year descriptive cross-sectional study carried out in the Gynecology-Obstetrics Department of the Gabriel Touré University Hospital. Result: During this period, 796 pregnant people were seen in antenatal consultations. Ween rolled 500 pregnant women in whom the search for HBs Ag was carried out, a rate of 62.81%. Of these pregnant 85 had HBs Ag a prevalence of 17%. The average age of these women was 26.9±5.6 years. Our patients were paucipare sin 52.9%. Of these, 17.7% had a family history of chronic liver disease and 37.6% had once given birth in a referral health centre. Blood transfusion, polygamous focus and tattooing/scarification were the risk factors associated with HBs Ag carriage. Alarming clinical signs were absent in 95.2% of cases. Hepatic cytolysis and anaemia were found in 28.8% and 76.3% of cases respectively; viral replication was observed in 13.6% of pregnant women with a high viral load in 37.2%. Abdominal ultra sound was normal in 90.8% of cases and esophageal varices were present in 6% of women who performed eso-gastroduduedenal fibroscopy. Fibrosis was significant according to an APRI score in 3.4%. Conclusion: The prevalence of HBs A in pregnant women followed remains high.
