«We found that telbivudine not only eliminated vertical transmission of HBV from pregnant women to theirs infants, but that it is also safe and well tolerated by women and infants.» (sciencedaily.com)
«The happy conclusion, at this point, is that vertical transmission in Canada is rare, and groups which were at excess risk are no longer so.» (sciencedaily.com)
