Investigation of an outbreak of hepatitis in Dhaka implicated enterically transmitted non-A, non-B (ET-NANB) hepatitis as the etiologic agent. This observation was made by exclusion in 17 of 19 patients, and confirmed serologically in one randomly selected patient by a fluorescent antibody blocking assay specific for ET-NANB hepatitis. These findings reinforce earlier suspicions that ET-NANB may be an important cause of acute hepatitis in Bangladesh. The epidemiology of ET-NANB hepatitis is discussed, and public health recommendations are made.
对达卡一次肝炎暴发的调查表明，经肠道传播的非甲非乙型（ET-NANB）肝炎是病原体。这一观察结果是通过对19名患者中的17名进行排除诊断得出的，并通过针对ET-NANB肝炎的荧光抗体阻断试验在一名随机选择的患者中得到血清学证实。这些发现强化了早期的怀疑，即ET-NANB可能是孟加拉国急性肝炎的一个重要病因。本文讨论了ET-NANB肝炎的流行病学，并提出了公共卫生建议。
