摘要:
a study of the evolution of prevalence of antibodies against hepatitis A virus (anti-HAV) in our area was carried out comparing the prevalence rates in 1977 to those in 1985. When 342 individuals studied in 1977 were compared to the 452 studied in 1985, a reduction in the prevalence of anti-HAV was observed; this reduction achieved significant values in the age groups from 11 to 20 years and from 21 to 30 years. In the age group from 11 to 20 years, the prevalence declined from 49% to 30%, declining from 73% to 49% in the age group from 21 to 30 years. The possible causes of this reduction in prevalence are discussed in the present article, with a comment on its clinical implications.
