Screening of pregnant women for hepatitis B surface antigen especially in countries with a high carrier rate as in Southern Europe is absolutely necessary for the control and elimination of the disease. In most Southern European countries screening of pregnant women is highly recommended. In Greece the carrier rate in pregnant women varies between 2.8 and 3.0%. However, only 63.1% of mothers at delivery had been screened before admission to the maternity hospital. To avoid legal problems arising from obligatory screening, educational campaigns, lectures, pamphlets and further measures to increase screening of pregnant women and administering hepatitis B immunoglobulin and vaccine should be taken.
对孕妇进行乙型肝炎表面抗原筛查，尤其是在南欧等携带率较高的国家，对于控制和消除该疾病绝对必要。在大多数南欧国家，强烈建议对孕妇进行筛查。在希腊，孕妇的携带率在2.8%至3.0%之间。然而，只有63.1%的产妇在入院前接受过筛查。为避免强制筛查引发法律问题，应开展教育活动、举办讲座、发放宣传册，并采取进一步措施，以提高孕妇的筛查率，同时注射乙型肝炎免疫球蛋白和疫苗。
