A community outbreak of hepatitis A is described, involving 23 persons in a small town in central Israel. Seventy-four percent of the cases were related to a contact with toddlers in one nursery class in a day care center. There were no overt cases in that class itself. The mode of transmission exemplified in this community underlines the difficulties in identifying a common source of hepatitis A infection, which is necessary for the elimination of a further spread of the disease.
本文描述了以色列中部一个小镇发生的甲型肝炎社区疫情，涉及23人。74%的病例与在一家日托中心的一个托儿班接触幼儿有关。该班级本身没有明显病例。这个社区所呈现的传播模式凸显了确定甲型肝炎感染共同来源的困难，而这对于消除疾病的进一步传播是必要的。
