Patients from 12 of the 19 residential units were sampled and some patients from all the units sampled had either HBsAg or anti-HBs. Twenty-five staff had detectable anti-HBs. Seventeen of these were psychopaedic nurses, employed in a psychopaedic hospital between three and 39 years (average 11.4 years). Only six of the nurses with anti-HBs had a pase history of hepatitis.
