Abstract excerpt

The seroprevalence of hepatitis A virus (HAV) antibodies is low in young adults in Korea. From May to July 2005, 17 cases of HAV were reported from healthcare workers (HCWs) in a hospital intensive care unit (ICU). We looked for the presence of anti-HAV IgM from all patients in the medical-surgical ICU with elevated aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and screened AST and ALT...
