| Résumé : | Chronic hepatitis C (VHC) is a worldwide public health issue. The mother-to-child transmission could be the main cause of hepatitis C infection in children. Despite the risk of histological injuries, chronic hepatitis C is not a contra-indication to pregnancy. In patients with VHC, there is no evidence that the outcome could be modified. In co-infected patients (VIH-VHC), a caesarean should be proposed taking into account the significant risk of mother-to-child transmission. Breast-feeding is not contra-indicated. Systematic screening of VHC, discussed in this article, could be proposed in woman planning a pregnancy. |
