The incidence of hepatitis in Sweden is relatively low, but an outbreak associated with the consumption of infected oysters occurred in 1955. Subsequently, an increasing incidence was noted among track-finders. Methods of eliminating cross-infection by traces of blood among the runners greatly reduced this incidence. Since 1964, hepatitis associated with haemodialysis and with narcotic addiction has become common. The changes in the epidemiological pattern during the last 20 years are discussed.
瑞典肝炎的发病率相对较低,但1955年发生了一起与食用受感染牡蛎相关的疫情。随后,在田径运动员中发现发病率有所上升。通过消除跑步者之间血液痕迹的交叉感染方法,大大降低了这一发病率。自1964年以来,与血液透析和吸毒成瘾相关的肝炎变得普遍。文中讨论了过去20年中流行病学模式的变化。
