Between February and March 1981 an epidemic of hepatitis occurred in Kolhapur City, Maharashtra State, India. Approximately 1200 cases of jaundice were reported; more than 300 patients were hospitalized and three died. The epidemiological investigations showed a distinct concentration of cases in municipal ward E of the city. Investigations of the ward E water supply system disclosed gross contamination of raw water with sewage at source. The serological studies revealed that the aetiological agent responsible for this epidemic was neither hepatitis A virus nor hepatitis B virus but was likely to have been due to a non-A, non-B hepatitis virus.
1981年2月至3月期间,印度马哈拉施特拉邦科尔哈普尔市爆发了肝炎疫情。报告了约1200例黄疸病例;300多名患者住院治疗,3人死亡。流行病学调查显示,病例明显集中在该市的市政E区。对E区供水系统的调查发现,原水在水源处受到污水的严重污染。血清学研究表明,导致此次疫情的病原体既不是甲型肝炎病毒也不是乙型肝炎病毒,而很可能是一种非甲非乙型肝炎病毒。
