Abstract

Hepatitis C virus transmission from mother-to-child is the main cause of infection of children. As a result of vertical transmission of HCV in the world every year between 10 000 and 60 000 newborn are newly infected. The question of the mode of delivery of pregnant infected women with the hepatitis C virus remains controversial and open. Regardless of the level of viral load and the presence of hepatitis B virus infection of the placenta C violations transplacental protective placental barrier in pregnant women with chronic hepatitis C do not develop.
