An integrated epidemiological system for the surveillance of acute viral hepatitis SEIEVA which linked notifications to available serology results and used a standard risk factor questionnaire is described. Results of over 1300 cases reported by 35 participating local health units (USL's) during the first 18 months of the programme are presented. Overall the annual reported incidence of acute viral hepatitis was 70 per 100,000. There were marked regional and age specific differences in the incidence of each type of viral hepatitis. The annual incidence per 100,000 of hepatitis A in southern children was 133 while in northern young adults the incidence of hepatitis B was 88 and hepatitis non-A non-B was 43. The possible roles of shellfish consumption in the transmission of non-A non-B hepatitis at all ages were highlighted.
本文描述了一个用于急性病毒性肝炎监测的综合流行病学系统SEIEVA，该系统将病例报告与可用的血清学结果相联系，并使用了标准的危险因素调查问卷。文中呈现了35个参与项目的地方卫生单位（USL）在该项目前18个月报告的1300多例病例的结果。总体而言，急性病毒性肝炎的年报告发病率为每10万人口70例。每种类型的病毒性肝炎发病率存在明显的地区和年龄差异。南方儿童中甲型肝炎的年发病率为每10万人口133例，而北方年轻人中乙型肝炎的发病率为88例，非甲非乙型肝炎的发病率为43例。文中强调了食用贝类在各年龄段非甲非乙型肝炎传播中可能起到的作用。
