Background: TTV has been detected in almost every human tissue type or body fluid reaching near 100% prevalence. Several studies report mother-to-child postnatal transmission of TTV in infancy but the risk of transplacental transmission of TTV is still unclear.
Methods: The blood and plasma collected postpartum from 100 mother-child pairs were analyzed using TTV-specific qPCR.
