For 25 years of observation the morbidity rate of viral hepatitis in the Ukraine was irregular. In individual regions the morbidity level fluctuated within 2 to 3-fold range. Regions with invariably high or low morbidity levels for viral hepatitis were distributed over the territory of the republic not chaotically, but in zones: a zone with invariably high morbidity rate (western), a zone with morbidity rate corresponding to the average level for the republic (south-western), and a zone with an invariably low morbidity rate (north-eastern). The expediency of dividing the territory into epidemiological areas in respect of viral hepatitis on a regional or republican level is discussed.
在25年的观察期内，乌克兰病毒性肝炎的发病率并不规律。在个别地区，发病水平在2至3倍的范围内波动。病毒性肝炎发病率始终较高或较低的地区在该共和国领土上并非杂乱分布，而是呈区域分布：发病率始终较高的区域（西部）、发病率与共和国平均水平相当的区域（西南部）以及发病率始终较低的区域（东北部）。文中讨论了在地区或共和国层面将领土按照病毒性肝炎划分为不同流行病学区域的合理性。
