Nosocomial spread of hepatitis A is very uncommon but may occur under unusual circumstances, as shown by the incident described here and by the few other published reports. In this incident it is concluded that the patient, who was the index case, was excreting hepatitis A virus in the faeces 16 days before jaundice developed and 17 days before alanine aminotransferase (ALT) values reached a peak.
甲型肝炎的医院内传播非常罕见，但在特殊情况下可能会发生，如此处所述事件及其他少数已发表报告所示。在该事件中，得出的结论是，作为首例病例的患者在黄疸出现前16天以及丙氨酸转氨酶（ALT）值达到峰值前17天，粪便中就已排出甲型肝炎病毒。
