    AbstractThe authors describe a case of fulminant hepatitis in a 12-week-old infant whose mother was an asymptomatic carrier of the hepatitis B virus surface antigen and "e" antibody, the infection being unknown at the time of birth. They emphasize the importance of hepatitis B prophylaxis in all newborn children of surface antigen carrier mothers, irrespective of the situation concerning the hepatitis B virus e antigen.
