However about 1 percent of the young generation who received hepatitis B vaccination at birth remain carriers. Infection with vaccine-escape hepatitis B virus mutants always occurs shortly after birth. Here we report two female siblings in whom the infection occurred in their adolescence. This report raises the question of whether a booster for hepatitis B vaccination is needed. Case presentation Two 19 and 14-year-old Taiwanese female siblings were born to a mother infected with hepatitis B virus and received a complete course of hepatitis B vaccination at birth. They remained negative for serum hepatitis B surface antigen and positive for serum anti-hepatitis B surface antibody throughout their childhood. However both were infected with the hepatitis B virus in their adolescence. Hepatitis B virus DNA was extracted from serum samples from the mother and two siblings. Hepatitis B virus pre-S S sequence was amplified by polymerase chain reaction followed by nucleotide sequencing. When compared with the sequence obtained from the mother multiple amino acid substitutions located near or in the major hydrophilic region of the surface antigen were identified in the elder sister. Four of these mutations sL97S sL98S sG102R and sA159P were novel. A novel in-frame deletion 14 amino acids deleted pre-S 127-140 was found in the hepatitis B virus pre-S2 region in the younger sister. Conclusions Despite having received hepatitis B vaccination at birth hepatitis B virus
