Hepatitis B virus DNA sequences were detected in seven (12.1%) of 58 cervicovaginal cell specimens that were obtained from pregnant women by polymerase DNA amplification assay. The presence of hepatitis B virus DNA in these cells raises the possibility that infected cervicovaginal cells may be a source through which hepatitis B virus can be transmitted from infected mothers to their newborns and between heterosexual partners.
通过聚合酶DNA扩增试验，在从孕妇处获取的58份宫颈阴道细胞标本中，检测到7份（12.1%）含有乙肝病毒DNA序列。这些细胞中乙肝病毒DNA的存在增加了一种可能性，即受感染的宫颈阴道细胞可能是乙肝病毒从受感染母亲传播给新生儿以及在异性伴侣之间传播的一个来源。
