To assess the prevalence of the hepatitis B virus carrier status in pregnant women from the population of Alicante and to evaluate the need of screening studies in future programs of attention to pregnant women, 550 women at the final stage of their pregnancies who were admitted to the Alicante Hospital were evaluated with a questionnaire and the determination of specific markers. Our results disclose a lower prevalence (0.54%) than other studies; it was always associated with risk groups and indicators of high infectiousness were absent. Therefore, before other results are available, screening for the carrier state in all pregnant women does not appear justified except in risk groups. These results are limited to the city of Alicante, where most women attend the Hospital at the final stage of their pregnancies.
为评估阿利坎特地区孕妇群体中乙肝病毒携带者状态的流行情况，并评估未来孕妇护理项目中筛查研究的必要性，我们对入住阿利坎特医院的550名孕晚期妇女进行了问卷调查和特定标志物测定。我们的结果显示，其流行率（0.54%）低于其他研究；该流行率始终与风险群体相关，且不存在高传染性指标。因此，在有其他结果之前，除风险群体外，对所有孕妇进行携带者状态筛查似乎并无必要。这些结果仅限于阿利坎特市，该市大多数妇女在孕晚期会前往医院就诊。
