Abstract

We identified 27 cases of hepatitis A among international adoptees (5 persons), their direct or indirect contacts (20 persons), and unvaccinated travelers to the adoptees' countries (2 persons). Most cases occurred among nontraveling contacts of adoptees, suggesting the need to extend prevention guidelines to include hepatitis A vaccination for at-risk nontravelers.

摘要

我们在国际收养儿童（5人）、他们的直接或间接接触者（20人）以及未接种疫苗前往收养儿童所在国家的旅行者（2人）中发现了27例甲型肝炎病例。大多数病例发生在收养儿童的非旅行者接触者中，这表明有必要扩大预防指南，将甲型肝炎疫苗接种纳入高危非旅行者。
