We investigated the scope of hepatitis B infection in 11 families (family contacts: fathers, siblings) in which the mother transmitted (vertical) hepatitis B infection to the child. Results: The initial examination demonstrated an acute hepatitis B infection in one of the 11 fathers and former hepatitis B infection in 8 fathers. In 2 fathers no hepatitis B markers were found (susceptible for hepatitis B). In 3 of the 10 siblings examined an acute hepatitis B infection was demonstrated, one child showed signs of a former hepatitis B infection, and in 6 no hepatitis B markers were demonstrable. Current checks made in 5 families over a period of about 6.2 years showed another hepatitis B infection in one father and one child. These observations stress the importance of immunisation in such families.
