One-hundred-ninety-two stool samples were tested for the presence of human Hepatitis A antigen. Sixteen of these were also evaluated for the presence of infectious virus.

The isolation of the infectious virus from these stools demonstrates clearly the wide diffusion of the virus in these areas, and its transmission by the oral-fecal route.

Abstract

One-hundred-ninety-two stool samples were tested for the presence of human Hepatitis A antigen. Sixteen of these were also evaluated for the presence of infectious virus. All samples were obtained from young and apparently healthy people from endemic areas for Hepatitis A disease. The isolation of the infectious virus from these stools demonstrates clearly the wide diffusion of the virus in these areas, and its transmission by the oral-fecal route.
