69 serum pairs from two common-source water-borne outbreaks and one series of endemic cases of hepatitis in three parts of India were tested for hepatitis A and hepatitis B virus infections. None of the patients had evidence of HAV infection and only 10.1% had evidence of HBV infection. A large proportion of hepatitis in India seems to be caused by previously unrecognised agents.
对来自印度三个地区的两起水源性共同暴发和一系列地方性肝炎病例的69对血清进行了甲型肝炎病毒和乙型肝炎病毒感染检测。所有患者均无甲型肝炎病毒感染证据,仅有10.1%有乙型肝炎病毒感染证据。印度很大一部分肝炎似乎是由以前未被识别的病原体引起的。
