Abstract excerpt

In 1994-1995 there was an epidemic of hepatitis A (HAV) among drug abusers in the county of Blekinge, Sweden. There were also a number of other cases in which the epidemiological links were unclear. In order to uncover possible links between unclear cases retrospective sequencing was carried out of the VP1 region of HAV-RNA from patient sera. It was found that the epidemic among drug abusers spread beyond their...
