Research in Germany Sees Vertical Transmission of Bloodborne Virus to Infants.(TT virus)
2001 JAN 25 - (NewsRx.com) -- Scientists know that TT virus, a pathogen identified a few years ago, is transmitted via blood and procedures associated with blood such as hemodialysis. Researchers in Germany have now identified e vertical transmission of this virus from mothers to their infants in utero during pregnancy.
The clinical importance of TT virus (TTV) is still unknown. Researchers do know that it is sometimes found in people who are also infected with viral hepatitis, but an association between viral hepatitis and TTV was not identified in the German study.
This latest study, reported in the Pediatric Infectious Diseases Journal by scientists at the University Clinic of Witten Herdecke, found that maternal blood, cord blood, and breast milk samples contained TTV DNA. TTV DNA was detected in the blood of 57 mothers, while two breast milk samples contained the viral indicator. Nineteen cord blood samples contained the DNA.
Scientists suggested it was possible that 33.3% of the infants could have been infected in utero, ...
