Abstract
To find out the clustering of HBV carriers within a family, 50 HBsAg carriers were studied. The distribution of HBsAg was found to be high (33%) among the offspring of HBsAg negative father and positive mother when compared to positive father and negative mother (16%) or where both the parents were HBsAg negative (31%0. The frequency of HBV DNA was also found to be high among the offspring of HBV DNA negative father and HBV DNA positive mother (25%). Male infection leading to a clustering of HBsAg carrier families.
