Prevalence of Hepatitis A Virus Antibody Among Navajo School Children.

Williams, Robert

American Journal of Public Health, v76 n3 p282-83 Mar 1986

A serologic investigation of prevalence of immunity to hepatitis A (anti-HAV) was conducted in a rural school adjacent to a Navajo reservation in New Mexico. The results show rates of anti-HAV that are the highest reported at the ages tested in any subpopulation in the United States, comparable only with those in developing countries. (KH)
