The development of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) carrier states in newborns of HBsAg‐positive mothers was correlated to the presence of anti‐HBc IgM and HBeAg in the mothers. There was a positive correlation between infection of the newborn and the presence of HBeAg, as shown previously, but no correlation with anti‐HBc IgM.
