Scenario 1.
An asymptomatic primigravida books at 10 weeks. Her partner had an acute HBV infection 4 months ago. What results on routine blood testing would indicate that she has an acute HBV infection?
Scenario 2.
An asymptomatic primigravida books at 10 weeks. Her partner had an acute HBV infection 4 months ago. What results on routine blood testing would indicate that she is immune to the HBV as a result of infection?
Scenario 3.
An asymptomatic primigravida books at 10 weeks. Her partner had an acute HBV infection 4 months ago. What results on routine blood testing would indicate that she is immune to the HBV as a result of HBV vaccine?
Scenario 4.
An asymptomatic primigravida books at 10 weeks. Her partner had an acute HBV infection 9 months ago. What results on routine blood testing would show that she is a chronic carrier of HBV infection?
Scenario 5.
Testing shows that he is positive for HBsAg, positive for HBcAb but negative for IgM HBcAb. What does this mean in relation to his HBV status?
Scenario 6.
Testing shows that he is negative for HBsAg, positive for HBcAb and positive for HBsAb.
What does this mean in relation to his HBV status?
Scenario 7.
How common is chronic HBV carrier status in UK pregnant women?
Scenario 8.
What is the risk of death from chronic HBV carrier status?
Scenario 9.
A primigravid woman at 8 weeks gestation is found to be non-immune to HBV. She has recently married and her husband is a chronic carrier. What should be done to protect her from infection?
Scenario 10.
A woman is a known carrier of HBV. What is the risk of vertical transmission in the first trimester?
Scenario 11.
What is the risk of the neonate who has been infected by vertical transmission becoming a carrier without treatment?
Scenario 12.
Should antiviral maternal therapy in the 3rd. trimester be considered for women with HBeAg or high viral load?
Scenario 13.
How effective is hepatitis B prophylaxis for the neonate in preventing chronic carrier status as a result of vertical transmission?
Scenario 14.
Can a woman who is a chronic HBV carrier breastfeed safely?
Scenario 15.
Hepatitis B infection is the most dangerous of the viral hepatitis infections in pregnancy.
Scenario 16.
A pregnant woman who is not immune to HBV has a partner who is a chronic carrier. Can HBV vaccine be administered safely in pregnancy?
Scenario 17.
A pregnant woman who is not immune has a partner with acute hepatitis due to HBV. He cuts his hand and bleeds onto the kitchen table. How should she clean the surface to ensure that she gets rid of the virus?
Scenario 18.
Is it true that the presence of HBeAg in maternal blood is a particular risk factor for vertical transmission? Not really a scenario, but never mind!
Scenario 19.
Does elective Cs before labour and with the membranes intact reduce the vertical transmission rate?
Scenario 20.
Which hepatitis virus normally produces a mild illness, but represents a major risk to pregnant women, with a mortality rate of up to 5%?
Scenario 21.
A pregnant woman has a history of viral hepatitis and informs the midwife at booking that she is a carrier and that she has a significant risk of cirrhosis and has been advised not to drink alcohol. Which is the most likely hepatitis virus?
Scenario 22.
Which hepatitis virus is an absolute contraindication to breastfeeding after appropriate treatment of the infected mother and prophylaxis for the baby?
Scenario 23.
Which hepatitis virus is linked to an increased risk of obstetric cholestasis?
