Objective: To determine the rate of mother-to-infant transmission of hepatitis C virus (HCV) and identify risk factors associated with HCV transmission. Methods: We prospectively studied 84 infants born to anti-HCV positive mothers and 66 infants born to HIV/HCV co infected mothers. HCV infection was verified in all mothers before delivery and their HCV viral load was measured at or near delivery using reverse transcription polymerase reaction (Amplicor, HCV Monitor). For HCV genotyping the INNO-Lipa II probe assay was used. Possible risk factors for vertical transmission were recorded. The children were followed up for evidence of HCV infection at the age of 0, 1, 3 months, every 3 months during the first year of their life and every 6 months thereafter. HCV infection was determined by persistent presence of HCV antibodies after 18 months and/or detection of HCV-RNA in more than 2 samples after the 3rd month of life. Results: 9 infants (6%) had HCV antibodies after the 18th month of a ...
