Abstract:

Objective

To identify the risk factors for non/low response to hepatitis B vaccinations in infants of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)-positive mothers and to evaluate the effects of subsequent individualized immune intervention in these infants.

Methods

Total of 144 infants of HBsAg-positive mothers enrolled in our hospital from August 2011 to January 2013, that had completed an immunization program of three-dose hepatitis B vaccines, were recruited. The risk factors for the non- or low-immune response to hepatitis B vaccinations were analyzed. Infants of the non-/low-immune response group were subsequently administered individualized immune interventions, following by reevaluation of immune responses to hepatitis B vaccinations at 18 months of age.

Results

Logistic regression showed that the risk of the non- or low-immune response to hepatitis B vaccinations in infants with preterm delivery, low birth weight of the infants, late administration of protein supplements, and failure to receive the second dose of hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) during neonatal days 15-30 increased 25.51, 20.54, 28.47 and 16.67 times than normal children, and the value of Wald χ2 were 12.45, 14.59, 15.36 and 10.09, respectively (all P < 0.001). The risk increased 1.001 (Wald χ2 = 3.97) and 1.16 times (Wald χ2 = 4.45) when HBeAg and HBcAb in the mother during early pregnancy increased one unit (all P < 0.05). Moreover, 83.3% of low-immune response infants and 70.0% of non-immune response infants achieved normal-immune response at 18 months, and had no statistic significance with normal-immune response infants (χ2 = 2.84, P = 0.12; χ2 = 2.32, P = 0.15), and the HBsAb levels were significantly elevated after individualized immune interventions (t = 2.54, P = 0.02; t = 2.76, P = 0.01).

Conclusions

High HBeAg and HBcAb levels of the mothers during early pregnancy, preterm delivery, low birth weight of the infants, late administration of protein supplements, and failure to receive second HBIG injection in the infants were the risk factors for non- or low-immune response. Individualized immune intervention effectively enhanced the immune response and alleviated the risk of HBV infection in the infants.
