";s:4:"text";s:4177:" This page provides links to PEP guidelines and resources by type of exposure.Infants born to HBV-infected mothers should receive hepatitis B vaccine and hepatitis B immune globulin within 12 hours of birth. These patients, except the one without clearance of HBsAg, received one to seven doses of HBIG within 2 days after exposure. One person developed clinical hepatitis B (HB) of short duration and two others developed anti-HBs. The mainstay of postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) is hepatitis B vaccine, but, in certain circumstances, hepatitis B immune globulin is recommended in addition to vaccine for added protection.
See the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Prophylaxis with hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) and nucleoside analogs can prevent hepatitis B virus (HBV) recurrence after liver transplant (LT). Six infants with perinatal exposure were injected with three or four doses of about 1250 IU anti-HBs at intervals of 2-3 months. Of the 177 HBIG recipients, followed up for 5-24 months, 166 were exposed by needle-stick, splash on mucous membranes or open wounds, sexual contact or medical investigation. doi: 10.1016/s0163-4453(86)94746-8.

Indications, dose, contra-indications, side-effects, interactions, cautions, warnings and other safety information for HEPATITIS B IMMUNOGLOBULIN. If an uninfected, unvaccinated person - or anyone who does not know their hepatitis B status - is exposed to the hepatitis B virus through contact with infected blood, a timely “postexposure prophylaxis” (PEP) can prevent an infection and subsequent development of a chronic infection or liver disease. After exposure to hepatitis B virus (HBV), appropriate and timely prophylaxis can prevent HBV infection and subsequent development of chronic infection or liver disease. The mainstay of postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) is hepatitis B vaccine, but, in certain circumstances, hepatitis B immune globulin is recommended in addition to vaccine for added protection. Aim To determine the efficacy and cost of maintaining immunoprophylaxis with HBIG and hyperimmune plasma (HIP) for 6 months after LT. The following statement supplements and updates certain sections of two previous statements on hepatitis B virus prophylaxis (MMWR 1981;30:423-35 and MMWR 1982;31:317-28 {1,2}).
