Abstract
Sexual partners of 50 HBeAg positive patients suffering from chronic HBV-induced hepatitis were investigated for signs of HBV-transmission or morbidity. 80% of the partners have been infected. 90% of these developed immunity against HBV; 10% acquired an acute or chronic hepatitis B. We were unable to establish any predominant criteria favoring the infection. Sexual activity, in particular, in our opinion is not of paramount significance.
