Patients and Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study carried on 6975 records of pregnant women visited primary health care centers from 1st of January 2016 to 30th of June 2017, whose blood samples were tested at the time of visits for hepatitis B s antigen in the reference laboratory and confirmation tests were established in the central public health laboratory in Baghdad for positive cases and included in their records. The effect of certain sociodemographic and obstetrical factors was also assessed in the study.
Results:Of total number of 6975 pregnant women records, hepatitis B s antigen was positive for 11, two were excluded to avoid duplication of data and the final number of infected pregnant women was 9 with prevalence rate of 0.13%. No important findings from their antenatal records regarding effect of certain sociodemographic and obstetrical factors were found except that husband of the majority of cases (55.6%) were HBs Ag negative and no information available about rest of the cases (44.4%).
Conclusion: There was a low prevalence of hepatitis B among studied pregnant women. We also concluded that source of infection to these women was mainly parenteral rather than sexual.
