A Unique Hepatitis A Virus Strain Caused an Epidemic in Norway Associated with Intravenous Drug Abuse

1 Jan 1998

Abstract excerpt

A major epidemic of hepatitis A virus (HAV), associated with intravenous drug abuser (IVDA) communities, was studied by molecular epidemiology using a 348 bp region of the VP1/2PA junction of the HAV genome. A total of 621 cases were notified during the 2-year epidemic, 492 of whom were IVDA. Serum samples, taken from 79 patients during the acute phase of infection, were selected for analysis of HAV RNA by...
